Leveraging Conflict


#1 Complaint in relationships: We are incompatible.


Conflict is healthy.


2 Corinthians 5:16a-So from now on, we regard no one from a worldly point of view. 


If Jesus can cause sinful man and holy God to be reunited, he can step into your marriage and heal it now!


2 Corinthians 5:16b-Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.


2 Corinthians 5:17


2 Corinthians 5:18


2 Corinthians 5:19a-God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.


What would it look like to put Jesus at the center of your life/marriage/relationships?


What will you do with the conflict in your life?
