June 29, 2025

Pastor Joe Wickman

Conflict in the church isn’t a surprise to Jesus—it’s something He directly addressed. In this sermon, we explore what Jesus teaches in Matthew 18 about how to handle conflict in a way that honors God and protects community. From broken relationships to gossip to the temptation to just “go it alone,” this message unpacks the biblical steps to pursue unity, reconciliation, and healing in the Body of Christ. We’re not called to be perfect—but we are called to peace. And Jesus promises to be present in the process.
