Handling 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.

CloseWhen Hezekiah showed the Babylonian envoys "all that was in his house," he thought he was showing his strength. In reality, all he proved was how naive he was to think that same action wouldn't come back to bite him. Yet we don't need storehouses to do the same, do we? That's what social media is for! But where's the line between us sharing our excitement for something and it coming off as pride -- the very thing that Hezekiah was guilty of? Unfortunately, only you know that line, but maybe Hezekiah's story can help us figure it out.
