ministry of restoring relationships. 2 Corinthians 5:18 “Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship in the spirit? Are your hearts tender and sympathetic? Then make me truly happy by agreeing whole heartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one heart and purpose.” Philippians 2:1-2 “Shame on you! Surely there is at least one wise person in your fellowship who can settle a dispute between fellow Christians.” -1 Corinthians 6:5 (TEV) Now, dear brothers and sisters, I appeal to you by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony so there won’t be divisions in the church. I plead with you to be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. 1 Corinthians 1:10 Do I have to follow him?

He defies all sound judgment. – Proverbs 18:1 When selfishness reigned in the heart of someone, you will not be able to understand the other person. He defies all sound judgment. God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God. 1Corinthians 5:9 Peacemaking is not avoiding conflict Peacemaking is hard work. As believers, God has “called us to settle our relationships with others.”- 2 Corinthians 5:18 Do we know that there are Biblical steps to fix broken relationships? Discuss the problem with God. Tell God your frustrations. Cry out to him. Tell him exactly how you feel. He’s never surprised or upset by your anger, insecurities, or any other emotions. If we are going to pray about the conflict first instead of gossiping to a friend, you will often discover that either God changes your heart or he changes the other person without your help.. It doesn’t matter whether you are the offender or the offended: God expects us to make the first move. Restoring broken fellowship is so important, Jesus commanded that it even take priority over group worship. Matthew 5:23-24- ….”go to this friend and make things right. Then and only then, come back and work things out with God. “Look out for one another’s interests, not just for your own.”- Philippians 2:4 Before attempting to solve any disagreement you must first listen to people’s feelings. Use your ears more than your mouth. “Christ did not indulge his own feelings… as scripture says: The insults of those who insult you fall on me.” Romans 15:3 If you are serious about restoring a relationship, you should begin with admitting your own mistakes or sin. Confession is a powerful tool for reconciliation. “If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves.”-1 John 1:8 “A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire.” Proverbs 15:1 “A wise mature person is known for his understanding. The more pleasant his words, the more persuasive he is.”Proverbs 16:21 A soft answer is always better than a sarcastic one. “Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody.” Romans 12:18 For the sake of the fellowship, let’s do our best to compromise, adjust to others, and show preference to what they need. Peace always has a price tag. Sometimes it costs our pride; it often costs our self- centeredness. Reconciliation focuses on the relationship, while resolution focuses on the problem. Christians often have legitimate, honest disagreements and differing opinions, but we can disagree without being disagreeable. God expects unity, not uniformity, and we can walk arm-in-arm, hand-in-hand without seeing eye-to-eye on every issue.
