The audience for most of Jesus’ teachings were common people like you and me. The elites — the ones who claimed they knew better than most – brushed Jesus off to the side (when they weren’t harassing Him).
Turns out, this was by design. God’s message was intentionally simple so that everyday people would be able to listen and learn. Those who would rather argue found nothing but silliness — to their own demise.

CloseHandling a dispute between church members can be tricky. Often times gossip will be spread (intentionally or unintentionally), feelings will be hurt, and people leave. Missing in the whole discussion is what *actually* happened to cause the split in the first place. That's why Matthew 18 is so important -- it gives a step by step playbook of how to handle church disputes in a way that emphasizes relationships instead of winning. If followed properly, many churches would be reconciled instead of splitting. All it takes is a little bit of humility from everyone.
