The Power of Peacemaking: Transforming Conflict into Growth//Church Reimagined, Part 8

How do we handle conflict in a way that honors God, promotes
unity, and actually grows us instead of tearing us apart?





In a world full of tension, division, and sharp disagreements,
this message explores a better way—one modeled in the early
church and rooted in Scripture. Through the story of Paul and
Barnabas in Acts 15:36–41, we see that even faithful leaders
experienced conflict, yet they didn’t let it derail the mission.
Their disagreement didn’t lead to division—it led to
multiplication.





This sermon challenges us to reimagine conflict resolution within
the church, not as something to avoid, but as an opportunity to
reflect the heart of Jesus. When handled in a biblical way,
conflict can mature us, unify us, and show the world what it
means to be peacemakers.





In this message, Pastor Nick Tallo will help you discover:


Conflict is inevitable—even among believers (Acts 15:36–41)





Disagreements don’t have to be destructive; they can lead to
deeper growth and greater impact





We’re called to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9) and to live at peace
as far as it depends on us (Romans 12:18)





You’ll also hear practical tools for biblical conflict
resolution—like pausing to pray, seeking wise counsel, and
managing expectations. This isn’t just about settling
disputes—it’s about being transformed. When we engage conflict
through the lens of grace and truth, we reflect the heart of the
One who first reconciled us to Himself.





At 2Rivers, we’re all about helping you become a passionate
follower of Jesus so you can experience the life He designed for
you—and lead others to do the same.
