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.

Numbers

The fourth book of the Torah recounts Israel in the wilderness. While the census renders numbers that testify to the great faithfulness, power, and sovereign ability of God to fulfill His promises (see Genesis 12:2; 15:5; 17:2), the predominate theme of the book deals with Israel suffering the consequences of her failure to trust God through His word. Her refusal to enter into the promised land demonstrated her disbelief, placing greater trust in what they saw with their eyes and what they felt with their feelings. Numbers is an important part of the Torah designed to remind and warn that failure to trust and obey God in faith invites God’s discipline but will not frustrate His ultimate purpose.
