This week in church, Andrew kicked off our new series, Resolving Everyday Conflict, with his message, Facing the Flames of Conflict, tackling the reality of tension in our lives. Andrew and Grace used a powerful analogy: "Conflict is like a fire." The Spark is a disagreement, the Fuel is the old sinful nature (e.g., pride or rage), and the Flames are the destructive actions. Drawing on Ephesians 4:17-32, the core biblical principle is to "Remove the fuel" by choosing our new identity in Christ and "dying" to the old self. The message stresses that while conflict is unavoidable, it is redeemable, calling Christians to be peacemakers who fight for unity by the power of the Spirit, ensuring conflict brings maturity and growth.

Ephesians 4:3, 17-32; James 4; Mark 9:35; Acts 6:1-7; Galatians 2:20.
