Church Fight #2

Here we have an even more personal fight
#1 was the split of factions.
#2 is the split of friendships.
A Tale of Two Leaders

When relationships fail, we want to assign blame. It helps us justify the way we feel (and sometimes the way we act).

We're Different. Are you Okay with That?

We see the world with our "prescription" and it looks right and good.
Someone else's prescription looks fuzzy and "not right."
Peace Restored

Paul was wrong. Barnabas was right.

Quite the "leadership failure;" isn't it?

Paul was wrong.
Peace Restored

Paul was right. Barnabas was wrong.

The Leadership "dirty little secret"
We're just like everyone else.

What do you do when friendships fail?

What do you do when friendships fail?

Three Things:
1. Seek reconciliation.
2. Pray for blessing upon them.
3. Trust God - release the person into God's hands.


GIVING

Our goal here at Cold Springs Church is transparency. We operate solely on the generosity of those who call Cold Springs home and give regularly to support the mission and vision we are committed to carrying out. God invites us to worship Him in all areas of our lives, including the way we spend our money. Because it is an act of worship, God is more interested in the shape of our heart than the size of our gift.
