November 28, 2021 - Moving from Conflict to Community - Pastor Paul Vallee

1 Thessalonians 5:12-18 We are all born into a family, or else by God’s grace, and we have been chosen through adoption. What is true in the natural realm is equally true in the spiritual. We are born again and adopted into God’s forever family, which is called the church. It is our eternal family. The church is more than an organization; it is a living organism. It is relational in nature, more like an extended family. Like all relationships, there are moments when they are threatened. How do we respond? What are some of the aspects of creating healthy relationships, families and communities of faith? We know that the enemy of our soul is always trying to stir up discord. Strife, division, bitterness and unforgiveness leave casualties. So what then makes for healthy relationships? Families? And Churches?
