Resolving Everyday Conflict

Conflict is common. It’s common to all people and it’s common to all of life. It’s usually experienced in our ordinary interactions with an overbearing boss, a challenging colleague, a difficult neighbor, a moody teenager, a complaining spouse, etc. Conflict is common but applying the gospel to our conflicts is not. Most of us hate conflict. So we either respond with dysfunctional conflict avoidance or dysfunctional anger. Either way bitterness and callousness set in. Though we want to deal with conflict in a more God-honoring, people-loving way we often do not know how to.

Resolving Everyday Conflict is a nine-week study, based on the book by Peacemaker Ministries, that seeks to unpack key biblical principles for dealing with conflict resolution and cultivating healthier relationships. It is a Christ-centered study that presents powerful and practical answers to everyday problems. Whether you’re struggling in a relationship at home, at work, at school, or know someone who is, this study offers help for living out the gospel in our relationships.

Workbooks are available for this study (from our Wednesday night service – 7:00pm each week). If you would like to purchase a copy, please email the church office. Cost per book: $5. I addition, you can also pick up the book copy of the original material from Peacemaker Ministries: Resolving Everyday Conflict here.

God’s Prevailing is Love

God prevails over what He wills. And when it comes to the Bible’s teaching on predestination, God’s prevailing is love. Love—as an intention, as an invitation—is not enough for our salvation. God’s love must prevail over and against our native inclinations and passions. Predestination does not deny salvation for the one who wants it, it guarantees it for the one who doesn’t. In this session, we review key points from the study as a whole and then turn to John 6 to hear the Savior thunder some of the most explicit, pride-crushing words regarding human inability. God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble. The contrast is between the proud self-sovereignty of man and the prevailing love of God.
