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.

Ruth

Light for Life: Exploring God-breathed Glory

The book of Ruth is a history book that provides the record of a key link in the transition from the days of the judges to the theocratic monarchy of Israel. But more than providing history, these four little chapters whimsically portray God’s redemptive purposes in a beautifully poetic and profound way. Though Israel is not faithful to her covenant with God, He is with her. He will redeem His people according to His steadfast love. His means of redemption will come by way of unsuspecting providence. Hardships are often vehicles of providential graces. The promises of God are not received by the proud, but by the humble heart that trusts God. The book of Ruth wonderfully illustrates that God’s redemption comes through providential grace to the humble who trust Him.
