1 Corinthians 5:4-7, 13

As human beings in general and as Christians in particular, we are accountable at various levels, to God, our families, our friends, our bosses and our teams at our places of work. Human nature in itself does not relish accountability. Accountability to God is the fundamental thing that is the enabler for all other levels of accountability.

The seven feasts outlined in the Old Testament were not just significant for the Israelites, they are significant to us today because they are symbolic of God’s perfect plan. For believers today, these feasts represent freedom because Jesus came to set us free. As you go through this plan, allow Jesus to reveal Himself to you. When you feast on Jesus, you’ll be set free!

More than likely you have seen or experienced conflict among Christians, even to the point of people leaving the church. It's not pleasant to be confronted by Christians who don't act like the Jesus they serve. But what if living in this tension was what God intended? How do we respond with grace and forgiveness when we are hurt by Christians?
