-Optional Session B- Is This Really Worth Fighting Over? Part 2-Get the Log Out of Your Eye How can I show Jesus’ work in me by taking responsibility for my contribution to this conflict?

Memory Verse – First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye (Matthew 7:5) Key Principle – A gracious, gentle attitude can prevent most conflicts

Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. Question…When in conflict who has the bigger issue, You or the other person?

In the video, what kind of “log” did the woman have in her eye? What is it about her situation that makes her focus on her eco-worker’s faults? How did focusing on his virtues change the course of this conflict?

Think of a type of minor offense that you find difficult to overlook. Why is it so difficult? How would you and the people around you be affected if God enabled you to be more gracious, gentle and inclined to overlook that type of offense?

Reflect on a conflict you have experienced. What more could you have rejoiced about in the midst of that situation? What costs of conflict have you forgotten to take into account when deciding how to respond to someone who offended you? What is the biggest “conflict price tag” you’ve ever paid?

Every church has a peacemaking “culture,” which is a combination of its attitudes, expectations, habits and unwritten rules for dealing with conflict. What aspects of your church’s culture promote peace? What aspect undermine peace? What can you do to improve your church’s peacemaking culture?
