Church for Entrepreneurs

Conflict within the body of Christ is inevitable. At some point, another brother or sister in Christ will say or do something that hurts you, offends you, or creates a personal conflict. Jesus knew this would happen, so He gave us a clear process for dealing with situations when another believer sins against us.

The problem is that we've taken Jesus' instructions for resolving personal conflict and turned them into something much bigger. Instead of using His process to pursue reconciliation between believers, we've turned it into public exposure, online debates, and so-called discernment ministries.

In today's Daily Word, we're going to look at what Jesus actually taught about handling conflict when another Christian sins against you, and how we can follow His instructions without turning a personal disagreement into a media fiasco.

In Scripture, Paul made a very interesting statement: "By now you ought to be teachers." This implies that every believer, at some point in their growth as a Christian, should become someone who teaches the Word. This is really what the Great Commission is all about: going out and making disciples. To make disciples, Jesus said we also need to teach them. This command to teach was given to everybody, not just those called to the ministry.

When God places a vision in your heart, your thoughts, words, and actions should come into agreement with what He has spoken. This is not secular manifestation, where you try to create whatever you desire through your own thoughts. Instead, it is about aligning yourself with God's vision for your life. Just as God changed Abram's name to Abraham, "father of many nations," before the promise was fulfilled, we can confess what God has spoken and visualize what He has shown us. Tools like vision boards can help keep that vision in focus so that our minds, words, and actions remain in lockstep with God as we move toward what He has placed in our hearts.

There is disagreement among Christians concerning what happened to Jesus between His physical death on the cross and His bodily resurrection three days later. The canonical position is that Jesus completed all suffering for sin on the cross and then entered Hell entirely victorious, but another possibility held by others is that Jesus, as our substitute, actually experienced the consequences associated with dying while bearing sin, including a period of torment in Hell. Scripture does not explicitly say, "Jesus was tormented in Hell." Therefore, this position must be acknowledged as an inference. However, the view that Jesus entered Hell already victorious and experienced no suffering there is also an inference. The purpose of this study is to examine the biblical evidence and explain why I lean toward the inference that Jesus suffered in hell.

God called you to step into your calling, knowing that you're not perfect and that you have mess in your past. But it doesn't really matter because God uses the mess of our past for our success.

Jesus' calling was to die on the cross and go to hell so we could be saved. We often assume that this was easy to do because, after all, Jesus is the son of God. However, this is far from the truth. Jesus walked the earth as a man and had to overcome stress and fear (just like the rest of us) to fulfill his calling.

This week in Office Hours CFE members discussed their current projects and sought advice. Alicia shared that she and her husband successfully raised $28,000 of their $30,000 crowdfunding goal for their film project, which will begin production in March. Theresa asked for advice about organizing her first wellness event, expressing concern about low attendance despite having 13 vendors registered. The group discussed strategies for event promotion and managing expectations, with suggestions to incorporate vendors more into the program and consider overselling tickets. Micah shared his plans to create a podcast about marriage covenants after receiving a vivid spiritual inspiration about the true meaning of marriage vows. The conversation concluded with a discussion about premarital counseling services, with Pastor Amos explaining his approach to helping couples prepare for marriage through spiritual, natural, and vision components.

Have you ever wondered why you can't hear the voice of God or what you can do to make it clearer in your life? I believe the parable that answers these questions is found in Mark 4:13-20. Jesus told us that this is the parable we need to understand, and if we don't understand it, we won't understand any other parables. This parable explains how God gets a word to us and what we need to do to hear and receive that word.

The key question when dating is not whether the person is already fully prepared to be a good husband or wife, because marriage itself requires a level of maturity that is difficult to fully understand before experiencing it. Jesus taught that not everyone is mature enough for marriage, but He also indicated that those who are capable of growing into it should embrace it. That means you should look for more than someone who seems "ready for marriage." Look for someone who has demonstrated the ability to grow. Pay attention to how they have handled other areas of life where they started without knowing everything, received instruction and feedback, made adjustments, and matured over time. Much of the growth required to become a good husband or wife will happen within the marriage itself, so one of the most important qualities in a future spouse is the humility, willingness, and capacity to keep growing and maturing throughout the marriage.
