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.

2 Kings

Light for Life: Exploring God-breathed Glory

The book of Kings purposefully contains much more than merely the chronicles of kings and kingdoms. It retells Israel’s history through a theological lens. Its inspired record recounts Israel’s tragic decline from a united kingdom to a divided kingdom, from the centrality of God represented in His temple to scattered apostasy and idolatry throughout the land. 2 Kings highlights both the judgment and the mercy of God in dealing with the kingdoms of Judah and Israel, showing the evil of idolatry and apostacy and their devastating consequences, and showing the faithfulness of God to His promise to preserve King David’s line for the coming of a future and greater King.
