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.

Right with God
How can a sinner be right with God? How can the guilty be forgiven? How can the rebel be reconciled? How can the helpless have hope? How can the outcast draw near? These are the agonies of a sin-sensitive soul; the fears of inner failure that ethnicity, morality, and religiosity are incompetent to quiet. There is only one possible way to be right with God: the gospel of Jesus Christ, which promises that on the basis of Christ and Him crucified a sinner can be justified by faith alone. This was the clarion of the Protestant Reformation, and it is at the heart of the good news that rejoices every guilty soul awakened to it.
