Today's sermon... because we could all use a little help when it comes to communication.


Here were the main points - Conflict Resolution:


1. Control your anger.  (Create space to heal.  Take a walk or whatever, but cool down before you confront.)


2. Have the courage to confront.  (Speak the truth in Love.)


3. Seek to understand the other person's perspective. 


4. Learn the art of apology.  (Preacher made us repeat 3 awesome phrases, which made us all laugh, but they are important to make real...)



I'm sorry.


I was wrong.


Would you forgive me?


5. Value reconciliation over being right.
