[00:27:04] Blessing and Dismissal
Questions for reflection on Matthew 18:15-20:
- Bring to mind a conflict you have witnessed or been involved in.
- How was that conflict dealt with? Is it how conflict is usually dealt with? How would the conflict have progressed using the process Jesus recommends?
- We are called to behave as representatives of Jesus, but we are also called to treat the other as if they are Jesus in disguise. How does this change how we deal with conflict as Christians?
Rev. Chris Roth posts the text of the sermons on his blog.
