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.

Judges

Light for Life: Exploring God-breathed Glory

The principles presented in the book of Judges are profoundly relevant for Christians within a pagan society. Though we are not Israel and America is not the promised land, still there is much that we can learn about the character of God and man from this book. Canonically, it demonstrates the Canaanization of Israel, underscoring her failure to live according to the Torah and highlighting her need for a righteous king. The immediate answer will be David, but the ultimate answer to the question that this book begs is Christ. In this survey, we see God’s gracious steadfast love to His wayward people. We also see God’s call to His covenant people to abandon all forms of pagan influence and cling to Him as their king.
