    Developing Relationships By Pastor Bong Baylon

    Discussion Guide No. 7

    Resolving Conflicts
    Introduction

    W
    elcome to the seventh session of DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS. Learning to
    communicate is a skill that we all need to develop. No one is born a good
    communicator in the real sense of the word. We all stumble in many ways (see
    James 3:2). Sometimes we say or do things that cause other people to get hurt.
    Sometimes we ourselves are hurt by others. Conflicts are inevitable in any real
    relationship. Without conflicts, a relationship remains superficial and shallow. Through
    conflicts, or rather, when conflicts are resolved successfully, relationships are deepened.
    Not that we desire conflicts to happen, but if they do happen we must know how to deal
    with them so that we can further develop our relationships.

    Icebreaker Question:

    What do you usually do when there are conflicts?

    Scripture reading: Colossians 3:12-17

    Discussion Questions:

    1. What should characterize our relationships in the body of Christ?


    2. What are the usual challenges of avoiding conflicts?
    3. If you can choose to have a relationship without any conflict, will you choose it? Why
    or why not?
    4. What are the usual things that hurt you or your feelings?
    5. When a relationship turns sour, are you able to restore it or do you usually cut it off
    as soon as you can? Please explain.
    6. When conflicts happen, people react in at least four ways: they fight, they take flight,
    they form alliances, or they face the conflict. Which one are you? Why?

    Application:

    1. Discuss the PEACE process and practice it using role plays (see handout).
    2. Agee on what you will do as a group if there’s a conflict. Establish rules.
    3. Ask God to help you resolve conflicts if and when they do happen. (Discuss the six
    stages of a group: Honeymoon, Conflict, Crossroads, Community, Ministry, and
    Multiplication).

    Assignment:

    Choose the next person who will share his or her life testimony in your next meeting.
    Pray for that person. If there’s a real conflict in the group at this point, it would be good to
    practice the PEACE process immediately.
