Even though the church in Philippi was a great group of Jesus followers, they had their own skirmishes as we can see in Philippians 4:1- 3. Before Paul brings up the quarrel between these two ladies, he frames it in the context of something so much bigger: heaven, the church, and the Lord. He urges them to find common ground, not in their own desires or their disputable matters, but in the indisputable, which is their standing in Jesus Christ.
