"It's Crucial" | Colossians 3:12-15 | Tim Parlier

Teacher: Tim Parlier Series: Stand-Alone Sermons Topic: Conflict Scripture: Colossians 3:12–15

Conflict is unavoidable. But how we handle it can either deepen pain or put the gospel on display. Drawing from Colossians 3, Jesus’ prayer for unity in John 17, and practical wisdom for hard conversations, this message explores why we tend to either avoid or attack in relationships, and why Jesus calls us to a better way. Rooted in our identity as forgiven people, we learn how Christ’s grace empowers us to engage conflict with humility, love, and courage. Discover a simple, gospel-centered framework for navigating difficult conversations, pursuing peace, and growing in relational health so that our love for one another shows the world we truly belong to Him.
