It’s All About Love 5: Love the Family of God

LHIM Weekly Bible Teaching

Galatians 6:9-10

We are supposed to do what is good toward everyone but do what is extra good toward fellow believers.

Doing good is easy when everyone is being nice, but it can be challenging when there is tension or conflict.

Acts 15:36-41

Paul and Barnabas had a disagreement. To resolve the issue, their mutual decision was to continue the work of the ministry independently.

Sometimes, if we have disagreements, we can just choose to do things separately. Nothing in Scripture says that we are commanded to always work together alongside each other in everything. Sometimes, loving another person is knowing what to do in order to get along and continue serving the Lord. Nevertheless, all our work is to be aligned with God’s purposes and with a heart to honor and please the Lord in all things.

Colossians 4:10

2 Timothy 4:11

1 Peter 5:13

1 Samuel 25:2-35

Abigail navigated the circumstances with Nabal and David with exceptional discernment and character. She demonstrated how to de-escalate a situation and deal effectively with difficult people.

Proverbs 15:1; 17:27; 12:18
