Leader Hints are designed to help guide a leader to some information that we want to “tease” out of the group. They are not there for you to directly read to the participants. People are significantly more likely to remember things they said or came up with, so your goal is to help direct them to that answer.
FINAL NOTE: Our goal is to get to the [APPLICATION QUESTION] to help work with people through how to apply what God is doing in their life.
INTRO:
- Icebreaker: Share one memory from middle school gym class?
REBUILD THE SERMON:
- What does the “wall” in the opening illustration symbolize in our daily lives?
- How do people typically “go around the wall” instead of facing their problems directly?
- Can you share a personal experience where you or someone you know avoided a conflict instead of addressing it head-on?
- Why do you think people choose to gossip or manipulate rather than confront issues directly?
- How does the example of the parent in ministry illustrate the consequences of avoiding direct confrontation?
- What are some common ways people handle conflict poorly in the workplace or church?
- According to the sermon, what does it mean to handle conflict biblically?
- How does Matthew 18:15-20 guide us in resolving conflicts within the church?
- Why is it important to hold fellow Christians accountable, and how can we do it with love and grace?
- What are the dangers of not addressing conflicts directly within the church community?
Application Question:
- How can you apply the biblical principles of conflict resolution in your own life to handle conflicts more maturely and effectively?
- Take up prayer requests and pray together.
