Over the past 15 years Canoga Park Pres has known differences of opinions and discord, like every church at various moments. And yet, some of those differences proved to be stronger than what is healthy. Yes, some conflict is healthy! God-honoring progress will almost always have conflict involved as the church grows in carrying out Jesus' mission (growing pains).
However, when the conflict creates grudges then we are doomed. Why? Because Jesus' plan for us to share the gift of abundant Life with others hinges upon people seeing the love we have for one another. Jesus even went as far as to say that he would rather someone not give to, or serve, the church if they have an active grudge.
So watch this message because it is a crucial piece you need, we all need, at our foundation in this next chapter of abundant life together.
