Divisions, Disagreements, and Charity in the Local Church (mp3 Disc)

"When we begin to explore what God has to say [about the Church], we ought to be thrilled, intrigued, challenged and ultimately transformed by what we see." —Mark Johnston

The issue of division and disagreement in the life of the local church is arguably one of the most painful and perplexing of the Christian experience. It leaves scars on a congregation and pastor, and often far-reaching damage. Pastor Mark Johnston brings us to Ephesians to apply the Gospel to the Church. We will see the problem in light of God’s plan— Christ has repaired and restored the ruins that formerly divided us—we are one people by God’s grace through faith.

The Gap Center for Biblical Studies exists to glorify Almighty God as He has revealed Himself in the written Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments by the spread of the Gospel through educational lectures, seminars, classes, and training courses.

DIvisions, Disagreements, and Charity in the Local Church includes:

• Church Divisions: Seeing the Problem in Light of God's Plan
• Church Divisions: Tackling the Problem with God-given Resources
