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.

God-Centered Praying

God-Centered Praying

Among the three acts of religious piety, Christ confronts hypocrisy with the greatest force when He confronts it in prayer. It seems to discharge a most intolerable stench to God. The root of hypocritical prayer is a man-centered craving for praise that is devoid of any true God-seeking humility. Hypocritical prayer evidences an impoverished view of God, and therefore its antidote is an intentional esteem of His radiant centrality. This message looks at our Lord’s sermon and His next address of hypocrisy in the next pillar of Judaism, namely hypocritical prayer.
