#079: 7 Steps To Resolve Conflict

The Bible teaches 7 steps to conflict resolution: (1) take the initiative; (2) confess my part; (3) listen for the hurt; (4) consider their perspective; (5) tell the truth tactfully; (6) fix the problem not the blame; and (7) focus on reconciliation not resolution.

Music for this week's podcast is "(What's So Funy About) Peace, Love, and Understanding" by Nick Lowe.

Defending the Offense

What is our defense when someone's offense, or sin, comes against us? Jesus gave us 4 very specific instructions of how we are to respond. Just like in football, there is an order to how we respond, a 1st down, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Join Pastor Mark in this study of Matthew 18:15-17.

Living the New Creation

The Bible tells us that we are a new creation.  But sometimes we don't live like we are a new creation?  What makes the difference?  Join Pastor Mark Pierce of Church Requel as we discuss the importance of reconciliation.
