You Asked for It - A Better Way Through Conflict - September 7, 2025

Unresolved Conflict

Avoiders

Exploders

Peaceful

“Conflict is inevitable. Combat is optional.”

POINT 1: RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM

“If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.”— Matthew 18:15

You can’t heal what you won’t name.

Name It:

  • Pause & Pray
  • Go Direct
  • Choose The Setting Wisely
  • Lead with Care

“Avoiding conflict doesn’t keep the peace — it kills it slowly.”

POINT 2: RESPOND WITH PATIENCE

“Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.”— Galatians 6:1-2

Restoration is greater than retaliation.

  • Check your motive.
  • Lead with humility.
  • Restore gently.
  • Carry the burden.

The goal of conflict isn’t to win — it’s to restore.

DON’T LET IT GROW

Conflict is like a ladder — every rung you climb makes it harder to come back down.

  • Level 1: Harmony
  • Level 2: Disagreement
  • Level 3: Conflict
  • Level 4: Battle
  • Level 5: War

“The earlier you deal with conflict, the easier it is to heal it.”

Restoration matters more than retaliation.

“Jesus didn’t come to win an argument; He came to win us back.”
