Conflict is to be expected within the church so when it comes we are to work to heal the disunity and preserve the unity of the Spirit so that the church can benefit from the conflict rather than being divided. In Philippians 4, the Apostle Paul addresses just such an interpersonal conflict at the church of Philippi.
