How can conflict lead to growth?

In Acts 15, we see a crucial conflict arise as some believers began adding requirements to salvation, threatening the purity of grace (Acts 15:1). This conflict challenged the very heart of the gospel, but rather than ignore or avoid it, the early church leaders addressed it head-on (Acts 15:6). Through open discussion and a return to the truth of Scripture, the apostles and elders reaffirmed that salvation is by grace alone, without additional burdens (Acts 15:11). Addressing this conflict brought clarity and unity to the church, strengthening their witness (Acts 15:12). It shows that when conflicts are approached with humility and truth, they can lead to growth and deeper fellowship. Sometimes, God uses conflict to clarify His will and unite His people in the truth. Please pray for Pastor Steve and the team as they prepare for the service. We are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday!
