when the church does not agree
when there is a split
between your heart and me
Christ speaks to us
guiding us in love
coming together to resolve this
speaking the truth
in a spirit of forgiveness
surrounded by Christ’s arms
in his arms of love
Sow
Peace – v4
We
are filled by the Spirit
Guided
by Christ
Informed
by His love
Walking
in His path
We
are called to sow peace
to
walk gently in this life;
Letting
the Spirit guide us
into
the light of Christ
We
are not to hold grudges
any
small or great hurts;
We
are to give them to God
so
we can go forth
We
are called to sow peace
to
walk gently in this life;
Letting
the Spirit guide us
into
the light of Christ

and
second in a two-part sermon series entitled
“Sensitivity
Training II: When Church Folk Don’t Get Along.”
Peter
said he “was not preaching this sermon because we are having difficulty with
this issue. I am preaching it because I firmly believe the best time to
consider matters such as this is when tensions are not high and we can reflect
on good spiritual practices that can keep our relationships healthy. The middle part of Matthew 18 offers a good
plan for conflict resolution.”
