James Madison wrote in the Federalist Papers, “The causes of faction are sown in the nature of man.” Tension, division, conflict—all are inevitable in this world since the fall. I am convinced that one of Satan’s strategies to hinder the spread of the Gospel and derail a church from its mission is by encouraging and reinforcing conflict within a church. Get a church divided, and the damage to the Gospel is profound. Conflict is inevitable. What we do with conflict is what matters. Thankfully, the Bible has a lot to say about this topic. In this class, we will learn the Bible’s step by step process to dealing with conflict God’s way.
Session 1 classes begin at 9am on Jan. 11th and run through March 22nd.
