Family Dinner: February 20th – 26th<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open your Bibles to Matthew chapter 18 and read verse 15 together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often times when dealing with someone who is being difficult or has wronged us in some way, we don’t go about it the way Jesus commands us to. Either we gossip about them and the situation and try to “recruit” our team trying to get others on our side and against them, avoiding the situation and becoming bitter, OR<\/strong> we get furiously angry and walk right up to them wanting to confront, yell and fight. But Jesus, gives us the way to love our fellow brother\/sister, to forgive them and to reconcile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discuss the following questions together as a family:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Why do we often times gossip about the person we’re having conflict with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Tell of a time that you wronged someone. What happened and how did the situation dissolve, or did it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Why is it important to obey Jesus’ every command, whether we agree or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put it into practice! Read Matthew 18:16-20 together to continue to see how Jesus commands us to reconcile with our family. Pray and ask the Lord to reveal who you need to reconcile with. Then go, and seek forgiveness and reconciliation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsouthbay.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/family-dinner\/401097"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsouthbay.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/family-dinner"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsouthbay.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/family-dinner"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsouthbay.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
