15th Sunday after Pentecost

Each week, we provide questions based on last Sunday's sermon. These questions are to encourage you to connect the scriptures to your own life and to invite you to grow deeper in your relationships with others at Faith by discussing the questions together. 

Readings: Romans 13:8-14, Matthew 18:15-20.

Sermon: We use others in our conflicts to give our power away, but Christ uses others in our conflicts to empower us. 

Questions:

1. When have you experienced triangulation (asking a 3rd party to talk to someone you're in conflict with instead of addressing that person directly yourself)? What was the result? 

2. When have you gone to someone directly with whom you have a conflict and asked to talk it through with them? What was the result?

3. Who have you been avoiding having a direct conversation with?
