Sorry about posting these late; I am going to try to get notes up before each week along with posting some additional notes after the fact. Sorry for being late this time around! 
Learning Together
1. What is conflict?
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks, or the church of God -- even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. (1 Cor 10:31-11:1)
3. The Foundational G: the Gospel of Christ
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. (1 Tim 1:15)
4. How do we respond to conflict?
(http://www.peacemaker.net/site/c.aqKFLTOBIpH/b.958151/k.5236/The_Slippery_Slope_of_Conflict.htm)
Personal Peacemaking:
Overlook an offense (Prov 19:11)
Reconciliation (Matt 5:23-24)
Negotiation (Phil 2:3-4)
Assisted Peacemaking:
Mediation (Matt 18:16)
Arbitration (1 Cor 6:1-8)
Accountability (Matt 18:17-20)
Key Principle: Conflict is an opportunity!
