Surprised by Conflict

Sep 21, 2025    Pastor Bobby Brooks

In Matthew 18, Jesus provides us with some practical wisdom for how to handle conflict. He maps out a process in which the truth is presented in the context of loving community, and He promises to be with us as we navigate these difficult situations. But all of this raises an important question for the disciples - exactly how many times must we forgive someone? Do we ever reach a point where we can stop forgiving someone? Do we ever reach a place where forgiveness is no longer possible? This week we'll unpack Jesus' vision for handling conflict and explore the nature of forgiveness - not just our forgiveness of others but God's forgiveness of us.
