Sharjah United Methodist Church
Difficult conversations are never easy, especially when we’ve been hurt. But Jesus shows us how to address conflict with love and accountability.
In Matthew 18:15–17, He gives us four steps:
1. Talk privately. Go to the person and talk things through.
2. Ask for help. Bring one or two trusted people to help you work toward reconciliation.
3. Seek the church’s guidance. If the issue remains unresolved, bring it before the church.
4. Set a boundary. If the person still refuses to repent, exclusion from fellowship may be necessary, while leaving the door open for repentance and restoration.
May we have the courage to speak kindly, the patience to listen, and the humility to admit when we’re wrong. Healing can begin with an honest conversation. 🙏❤️
