In John 17, Jesus prayed that His Church would be "one". In this study, we'll talk about one of the practical areas of church life that has to be addressed if a congregation is going to walk in unity - conflict resolution.

SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:

- Was there an aspect of this study you felt specifically challenged by?

- How do you normally decide whether you respond to an offense or overlook it?

- How can we reconcile the biblical call to judge those within the church (1 Corinthians 5:12-13) with Jesus' command not to judge (Matthew 7:1)?

- How might our approach to conflict resolution change if we consistently asked, 'What is best for the other person?' rather than focusing on our own feelings?

- When we’re offended or sinned against, how can we be led by the Holy Spirit rather than our emotions?
