#1100: Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost – September 6, 2026

Church conflict is inevitable, but how should Christians actually handle it?

In this episode, hosts Cody Sanders, Karoline Lewis, and Matt Skinner dive into Matthew 18 explained through the lens of accountability, reconciliation, and protecting the vulnerable. They unpack why Jesus pairs this teaching with the parable of the lost sheep and what that reveals about who the text is really trying to protect. The conversation also covers Ezekiel 33's watchman imagery, the Exodus 12 Passover narrative, Psalm 119, and Romans 13's call to put on the armor of light. Whether you're preaching this Sunday or just want a richer grasp of these lectionary texts, this discussion offers practical, pastoral insight you can bring straight into your sermon prep.
