The early church leader Paul was an amazing leader. He took on huge challenges and amongst them infighting within his own Christian community. Nothing changes much does it!
One of the challenges he throws us is how to love whilst people are stabbing you in the back.
He had an experience where fellows Christians were quite happy to see him in prison. Ouch!
Paul’s response was to Rejoice!
Yikes, hard call.
Yesterday I preached a sermon on this at River Valley Baptist.
