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 Key to the Sermon on the Mount
This Lord's day we will be continuing in Matthew embarking upon another remarkable passage pregnant with rich truths. The passage most directly emphasizes the righteousness of the written Word and the Incarnate Word. The sermon will seek to highlight the importance that Christ came not to abolish but to fulfill the Scriptures, demonstrating and teaching that the righteous requirement of the Law is unattainable apart from Him. This important passage serves as the opening to the body of Christ's Sermon on the Mount, being the keynote to the rest of His sermon--it is very important.
Scripture References: Matthew 5:17-20
