8. Community Building Block: Resolving Conflict

9. Conflict and Sonship When the Bible discusses redemptive purposes and aspects (predestination, glory, atonement, Spirit’s work, new covenant, sanctification), sonship is in view (e.g., Rom 8:15-32; Gal 3:15-4:7; Eph 1:3-6; Heb 2:1-18; 12:1-14; 1 Jn 3:1-3). Sonship is the distinctive mark of the New Covenant (Gal 3:26-4:7) Sonship is a key characteristic of sanctification (Heb 12:4-7)

10. Sonship and Conflict It reminds us that sonship means likeness It reorients our perceptions of each other It reorients our thoughts and response toward God and away from ourselves

11. Causes of Conflict Misunderstandings resulting from poor communication Differences in values, goals, gifts, calling, priorities, expectations, interests, or opinions Competition over limited resources Sinful attitudes and habits that lead to sinful words and actions

12. How Do You Respond?

13. Personal Peacemaking Overlook an Offense (Prov 19:11) Reconciliation (Matt 5:23-24; Gal 6:1) Negotiation (Phil 2:4) Assisted Peacemaking Mediation (Matt 18:16) Arbitration (1 Cor 6:1-8) Accountability (Matt 18:17)

14. How Could You Respond? Glorify God: How can I please and honor God, in this situation? Get the Log Out: How can I show Jesus’ work in me by taking responsibility for my contribution to this conflict? Gently Restore: How can I lovingly serve others by helping them take responsibility for their contribution to this conflict? Go and Be Reconciled: How can I demonstrate the forgiveness of God and encourage a reasonable solution to this conflict?
