SUMMARY God created the earth in the very first verse of the Bible. Do you know what He did immediately after that? As we finish our series, Conflicted, JP talks about our ability and authority as Christians, as well as answers the most common questions we received about conflict. KEY TAKEAWAYS - Ability and authority go hand in hand, and as Christians, we have both when it comes to handling conflict. - Here is the ability for how to handle conflict: See conflict as an opportunity, own your part, know conflict is pressing, overlook a small offense, clearly express your hurt, and when necessary, widen the circle. - Asking for forgiveness should be normative for Christians. - Knowing what to do is often not the problem. It’s the fact that we are scared and care too much about what others think about us. - Right after God created the earth itself, it was formless and empty, so He formed and filled it. - God made mankind in His image and commands us to fill the earth and “subdue it” or form it. - Genesis chapter
