Some conflicts don’t just go away.

They sit.

They grow.

They harden.

And sometimes the person you most need to talk to is the one you least want to face. But Jesus didn’t leave us without a way forward. In fact, He gave us a path so bold—and so uncomfortable—that most of us quietly ignore it. What if that’s why our relationships stay fractured? What if that’s why our witness to the world feels powerless?

This Sunday, we’ll uncover the surprising steps Jesus and Paul say can turn hurt into healing and division into unity.

It’s not easy.

It’s not quick.

But it’s the only way to cultivate real peace.

Join us as we seek to live out Matthew 18:15–20 in the way Paul describes in Ephesians 4:1–16. Together, we’ll discover the path to cultivating peace in the church.

• Text: Matthew 18:15-20; Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-16 (NIV)
