What this episode covers
We live in divisive times. Conflicts with those around us are becoming increasingly common. The same was true in the multiethnic port city of Corinth. The conflicts in that congregation provide a test case for our own circumstances. Whether in churches or in our country, the strategy proclaimed in our passage today offers profound hope. And it gives us added strength for compassion, even in the face of conflict. Especially in light of our nation’s commemoration of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday this weekend, these words are particularly relevant. Join us and be inspired for a new week.
