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.

1 Samuel

Light for Life: Exploring God-breathed Glory

Continuing the historical narrative from the book of Judges, the book of Samuel records the transition in Israel’s history from the period of judges to a theocratic monarchy. It uniquely distinguishes and divides power between the offices of prophet, priest, king. This is all in preparation of God’s kingdom and God’s king. In this session we consider the primary theological purpose of the book to reveal that God is the only true King, obedience the only wise course, and God’s Kingdom will come with God’s King. It is history that preaches, to call God’s people in the present to live with increasing anticipation for God’s Kingdom and King, and to demonstrate that God alone is man’s true King and God’s Kingdom man’s heaven.
