Today we started a new message series at my church. I’m calling it “It Does a Body Good: Nurturing Healthy Relationships in the Body of Christ and Elsewhere.” Hopefully, this particular series will end up being “the right thing” at “the right time.” Make no mistake, I’ve got a great congregation. But like almost any group of people, there are issues that spring up between persons that don’t always get handled in the best way possible. I suppose that we could always chalk this up to ‘human nature.’ But I believe that the Spirit of Christ calls us to (and equips us for) more. So, in these three sermons, I’m going to attempt to share some handles that will help people manage these issues better. Since our church is preparing to move into a new facility later this year, I’d love to see us do so with a degree of harmony and ‘singleness of purpose’ that rivals anything seen before in the history of this church.
The first of these sermons deals with the issue of conflict, and I’m calling it: Eat Your Veggies: Finding Nourishment in Conflict. Enjoy.
