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.

Church & Culture
In this lesson, the spiritual beauty and power of the church is reviewed. Her unique life and stewardship for the glory of Christ and the good of the culture is commended. As a royal priesthood and a holy nation, interfacing as the only tangible mediator between God and the world, her role and responsibilities are outlined. The precious bride of Christ is called to be faithful, vigilant, strong, and courageous. She is admonished to guard from being influenced by the culture’s worldview. Instead, she is equipped and lovingly exhorted to impact and influence the culture around her through her love and joy in Christ.
