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.

The Justifying God

Justification by faith alone is the doctrine on which the church stands or falls. This was first articulated by Martin Luther, who observed it with his own eyes. It was the central controversy of the Protestant Reformation. This session describes the course on which Providence placed Luther and his awakening to the doctrine of justification by faith alone. It was a road of unlearning mysticism and scholasticism in order to learn biblical truth. The convergence of key factors orchestrated by the almighty, invisible hand of God produced thunderous effects. The heart of the gospel was once again revealed and proclaimed as a clarion of glory to God and “good news” to sinners. Justification by faith alone was recovered. The church once again rose to stand in the glory of the gospel. May we steward this history well for Christ’s sake and His church.
