When Conflict Strikes - Joshua 22
Perhaps you’re familiar with the saying, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” The truth, however, is that there is also a third certainty in this world: Conflict.
We’re surrounded by conflict, each and every day, whether at home, at work, at school, within families, among friends or coworkers, on the TV, on the news, and yes, even within churches. And while some of these conflicts are relatively minor and short-lived, others may start as small sparks but, if left unchecked, can ignite into firestorms that can devastate everything in their paths.
Fortunately, conflict doesn’t necessarily have to be destructive or painful. It doesn’t always have to ruin relationships or devastate the unity of a church body. This week will show us that, when approached biblically, conflict can turn even the most challenging relationships into peaceful ones.

This Week's Sermon: "We Are Family"
This past week we as a church family wrapped up our Perfectly One 40-day focus on church unity. Now it’s time to celebrate and reflect on the good work God is doing among us.
This Sunday morning we’re planning to join together at 10am, as God’s family, and party!
We at Bridges Community Church have a lot of reasons why a celebration is in order, beginning with the fact that we are family. We’re members of God’s forever family. A family that we were adopted into by God Himself. A family that is open to all who are willing to come through Jesus. So let’s celebrate!
