Every family has its own quirks, blessings, and struggles.
In this message, Bryson Still shares a powerful word on family feuds - how they happen and practical ways that you can resolve them.
1. THE FRAMEWORK FOR RESTORATION
- Humility
- Jesus was lowly in heart and that allowed Him to take on peoples’ burdens.
Matthew 11:29
- The thing about humility is it requires vulnerability!
Examine your Framework:
- Do you know how the people around you experience you?
- Do you know what the people around you need from you?
- What adjustments have you made to address those needs?
Value for the Relationship
1 John 3:10-11
1 John 3:14-16
We express value for the relationship by treating people the way God values and treats them.
A true value for the relationship means that you are prepared to confront behaviors that threaten the health of relational connections in an honorable way.
Proverbs 17:10
It also means that you will go out of your way to do whatever it takes to restore the relationship.
Romans 14:19
2. KEYS TO CONFRONTATION
- Create a safe place for giving and receiving feedback
Ephesians 4:25, 29-32
- The goal of exchanging feedback is to give one another good information about how we are affecting each other in order to strengthen our relational connections.
- Asking good questions
Proverbs 20:5
- Listen to identify the need
- Building solutions
- Every problem must have an owner, and the owner is the best person to fix the problem.
3. When confrontation doesn’t go well:
- Wait & Pray
- Grieve
- Manage your Heart
- Set your Boundaries
- Try Again
Matthew 18:15-17
