What sort of things might we do to cause other believers to “stumble” (Matthew 18:6)? How can we avoid this?

In the evening of Sunday 22nd October we thought about how Jesus responded to a question from his disciples about being the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And saw Jesus goes on from there to speak about the duty of care we each have towards fellow believers - and to ourselves in how we follow him.

This is described in Matthew 18:1-14.
