Strained Relationships in the Church

How can Christians navigate difficult situations within the Church? In this video, Jeffrey D. Johnson discusses how to glorify God in church life when relationships are strained and things are difficult. He emphasizes that the fruits of the Spirit, such as patience, long-suffering, and kindness, are designed to be utilized in the church, as it is full of Christians who are struggling with sin.  Johnson believes that when someone is sinning against us or a person is not talking to us, it is the perfect time to show forgiveness and patience and exhibit love that thinks the best of others rather than the worst. He also emphasizes that it takes wisdom to submit to inferior leadership and to endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace, which greatly glorifies God. John 13:34 (NKJV) - "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another."
