Peace with Others Series, Overcome Evil with Good
"I thought I tried everything and it didn't work. Now what?"
We believe in the outrageous love and justice of God in conflict, but peacemaking doesn't always result in immediate breakthroughs. We want to learn from Jesus how to react differently and break the vicious cycle—even in the heat of conflict. As we wrap up our Peace with Others Series, we look at boundary enforcement and responding to conflict with the love of Jesus.
Romans 12:20-21, 1 Samuel 24:1-22, 2 Corinthians 10:3-4

ONLINE NOTES: 
Romans 12:20-21, 1 Samuel 24:1-22, 2 Corinthians 10:3-4
  • Where conflict comes from (Spark/Gasoline/Fire)
  • We often want things too much (desires become demands), and so we fight and quarrel (James 4).
  • The Slippery Slope-our natural tendencies to escape and attack
  • The Gospel: It changes everything!
​
REVIEW: Four “G”s, In dealing well with conflict there are four “G”s
1. GLORIFY GOD--1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.  
How can I please and honor God in this situation?
  • Understanding the Slippery Slope
  • Glory of God is a Human fully alive. 

2. GET THE LOG OUT OF YOUR EYE--Matthew 7:5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from the other person's eye. 
How can I show Jesus’ work in me by taking responsibility for my contribution to this conflict?
  • Start with your own contribution to a conflict
  • Rooting out idols (going beyond the superficial and getting to the heart)
  • A good confession (The Seven “A”s) 

3. GENTLY RESTORE--Galatians 6:1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.
How can I lovingly serve others by helping them take responsibility for their contribution to this conflict?
  • Go talk to them (privately); Get help
​
4. GO AND BE RECONCILED--Matthew 5:24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First, go and be reconciled to that person; then come and offer your gift.
How can I demonstrate the forgiveness of God and encourage a reasonable solution to this conflict?
  • Giving and receiving of forgiveness
  • Heart vs. Transactional forgiveness
  • The Four Promises of Forgiveness​

OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD
“I did everything and it didn't work. Now what?”
  • It doesn't completely depend on you
  • Jesus calls us to another way with another power - the power under
