Church Conflict Resolution
Matthew 18 peacemaking for church family strife.
Walk the Matthew 18 path, one step at a time
“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.” — Matthew 18:15 (ESV)
Jesus gave the church a gentle, ordered way to handle conflict — private first, always aiming to gain your brother or sister, never to win an argument. Work through each step; check it off only when you have truly done it. Your notes stay on this device.
A prayer before you begin
Lord, search my heart first. Show me my own part in this. Give me courage to go, humility to listen, and love that wants restoration more than vindication. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
