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.

Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy is the crown of the Torah. Theologically rich and overtly practical, it furnishes a wellspring of divine revelation. It is preeminently a book of remembrance for the sake of devotion. At the end of the forty-year period in the wilderness when the second generation of Israel was on the verge of entering the promised land, Moses gave a series of farewell discourses just before his death. The whole of the book predominantly urges the remembrance of God’s love and faithfulness to induce the love and faithfulness of His people.
