The Stewardship Approach to Resolving Conflict

The Woman Caught in Adultery

Ryan Lowery

John 8:1-12

In order to trap Jesus, a group of Pharisees puts an adulterous woman in front of him, creating a conflict between Mosaic law and Roman law. Jesus adeptly responds in a way that exposed the Pharisees' motives, showed compassion to the woman, and held to God's truth about her situation. In doing so, Jesus showed that we can come to God as we are, receive forgiveness from him for our sins, and enjoy closeness with Him.

The Road to Forgiveness

Scott Risley

Joseph: Waiting for God

Genesis 50:20

Despite the suffering and poor circumstances which Joseph endures, his demonstrates faithful patience because he trusted in God's sovereignty. Through this, God brings reconciliation to his dysfunctional family and salvation from famine to the Hebrew people.

The Word Becomes Flesh

Ryan Lowery

John 12:46

A ?Gospel? is a declaration of victory! The book of John is a historical and biographical account of the creator of the universe who came down to earth. As we learn about Jesus we can understand who God is. God is infinite, self-existent, and personal. The Word is with God, was God, created all things, and is the sustaining power of all life. Then this Word takes on a human body and lives among humanity, John confirms that he was an eye-witness to this event. Jesus came in a way that was unexpected and the world was polarized by it. All of humanity is invited to receive forgiveness from Jesus and be adopted as God's children.

Judge Not

Ryan Weingartner

Matthew 5:48

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses the issue of judging others and offers three practical steps for overcoming a critical spirit in relationships. First, notice the log, or sin, in your own life. Second, remove the log in your own life by admitting sin and seeking forgiveness from the person you wronged. Third, remove the speck, or sin, from the other persons' life by overlooking their offense, or gently pointing out their fault.
