Peace by Piece - Session 4

Peace by Piece, pt 4 September 4, 2016
Speaker - Jim Ladd

Big Idea: The way you handle conflict speaks volumes about your commitment to Christ and to His Kingdom.

John 13:34-35.

Last Week’s Three Guiding Principles in Conflict:
1. Don’t SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF
2. Don’t SPREAD THE BIG STUFF
3. Don’t STOP IF YOU GET STIFFED

Matthew 18:15-17

Guiding Principles of Conflict, #4-6:
4. Trust God with all your LOSSES. 1 Corinthians 6:1-11
5. Know when to WALK AWAY. Matthew 7:1-6
6. Guard YOUR HEART ABOVE ALL THINGS. Proverbs 4:23

How do I know if my heart is fully His?:
- I refuse to condemn the person who is hurting me
- I am humbled and broken when confronted about my own sin
- I seek always to grow closer to Jesus and be conformed to His image
- I stop ever seeking to justify myself and my behavior
- I trust only, exclusively, and passionately in the accomplished work of Jesus for my salvation.
