Acts 15:36-41 - "Grace in the middle of conflict"

Welcome back to Rooted in God’s Word, where we dig deep into the Scriptures and apply God’s truth to our everyday lives.In today’s episode, Pastor Erik walks us through a powerful and personal moment in Acts 15—a sharp disagreement between two faithful leaders, Paul and Barnabas. This wasn’t a debate over doctrine or false teaching, but a moment of real conflict between two people who deeply loved the Lord and had served together in mission.What do we do when conflict enters the church? When believers who love Jesus find themselves at odds?Through this message, you’ll explore the emotional, spiritual, physical, and relational impact of unresolved conflict—and how Scripture calls us to pursue restoration, humility, and unity. From Jesus’ own words in Matthew 5 to Paul’s counsel in Ephesians, we’ll see how the gospel gives us a different path forward: one of grace, repentance, and reconciliation.If you’ve ever faced tension in ministry, broken relationships in your family, or sharp disagreements in the church, this message is for you. God’s Word gives us more than principles—it gives us power to heal what’s been torn.Let’s open our Bibles to Acts 15:36–41 and get Rooted in the Word of God.
