PART 2 - A BIBLICAL APPROACH TO RELATIONAL CONFLICT

Discussed by David Fleming

Day 4

HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED CONFLICT IN A RELATIONSHIP? I THINK WE ALL HAVE – SOME MORE THAN OTHERS!

Last week, former CFBC Pastor David Fleming subbed in for Mark, teaching on the Biblical approach to relational conflict. This week, he completes that lesson with more fantastic Biblical solutions for every type of relationship – marriage, friendship, church, and work.

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

RELATIONAL CONFLICT: A BIBLICAL TOOLKIT

How often do you try to resolve conflict on your own without God’s help and guidance? (Proverbs 19:11)

How often do you try to make others think the way you think? David reminds us that it is not our job to change others, but to love them. What are the positives and negatives of conflict resolution?

WHAT ARE WE TO DO THEN? (Points For Home)

GO! Take action! Be the first to make a move. Remember, there are consequences for not resolving conflict. (Mathew 5:23-24; 1 John 4:20-21; John 15:35; Matthew 5:9; 1 Peter 3:8-11)

Follow Jesus’ plan. Limit the people involved to only the people involved. (Matthew 18:15-17)

Focus on the conflict. More on this tomorrow as David wraps up his lesson.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Discussed by Pastor Emory Cothen
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 4

Why is it so hard for us to wait – to be patient? What are we missing in the waiting period?

This week, CFBC Young Adults Pastor Emory Cothen encourages us to wait on the Lord patiently using the words of David from Psalm 62.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

WAIT ON GOD ACTIVELY (vs 8)

In verses 1-7, David was encouraging himself. How and why did he shift to encouraging the people in verse 8? What was his message to them?

Can we just sit back and wait – or must we be active in the waiting period? Louis Le Blanc once said: “Pour it out as water. Not as milk, whose color remains. Not as wine, whose savor remains. Not as honey, whose taste remains. But as water, of which, when it is poured out, nothing remains.” How did others in the Bible wait on the Lord? What can we learn from them? (1 Samuel 1:15; Titus 3:4-6)

WAIT ON GOD IN HIS PROMISES (vs 9-12)

When David was waiting on the Lord, did he remember God’s promises?

What promises can you focus on? What blessings has God bestowed upon you throughout your life? Remember those promises in the waiting!

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

No matter what this day holds, thank you for your presence.

Hold us all in the palm of your hand and never let go.

As we battle life, may we all surrender fully to you.

Battles may take a moment, a day, a year, or even longer to overcome.

May we not grow weary and walk away.

May we stay faithful, always moving closer to you, Father.

Today, as every day, we face choices.

Which way to go? What should we do?

Hear our pleas for forgiveness, guidance, and healing.

Walk with us, LORD, and when necessary, please carry us.

Speak to us and through us today.

May we move away from a slow, lazy, useless Christian life.

May we choose to go forward in the power and strength of the Holy Spirit, reaching as if into the pits of hell itself to help save one more soul for the Kingdom.

May we shout: “Hallelujah! Father, you are our GOD.”

May we shout: “Hallelujah! We are saved forevermore.”

Thank you, Father, for being with us today.

Now, let’s be going and doing and working, all for your glory and honor.

We lift this prayer to your throne room by and through the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen
