We hope you enjoy this week's message.

The title of my sermon's Family Feud, and I want to talk about conflict in our families. Now, I know that might seem like a little bit of a Debbie

Downer on a Sunday morning, but inevitably we all have them in our families. It's like a fart.

Nobody likes to admit that you do it, but we all do it, right?

Sorry, I don't know why I said that. I honestly wasn't planning to see it.

But it's like that. We all fight, but we act like we don't. And the reality is that fighting to a certain degree is a good thing. Iron sharpens iron, right? Proverbs 2717. As iron sharpens iron, so does a brother. And so as we are together and our families, it's natural that there's going to be some conflicting. There's natural that there's going to be rubbing together where things just get tense. But there's a problem sometimes when that sharpening turns into stabbing.

And that's what we want to talk about a little bit this morning.

Because oftentimes in our families, we'll have little fights here and there.

But then there's those fights that we have that are honestly, they run deep.

They're the kind of fights that are way beyond the surface level.

And oftentimes, the little fights that we have have little to do with the underlying issue

that we're facing.

And for some reason, every time we get into a family argument, it goes straight to the heart.

It goes straight to the painful place. And if not dealt with properly, if not done properly,

these issues, these family problems, what ends up happening is they become emotional tension that becomes

internalized so much so that it becomes our beliefs about our family members. It becomes the way in

which we view each other. And we need to be careful of that. But oftentimes we just don't know how to go about that so

today hopefully in this sermon it's more of a teaching today hopefully that will be able to give you a

couple tools to to be able to fight well and also some tools on what to do when fighting doesn't go well. I believe that

it's God's intention this morning to bring hope to relationships that we felt like were lost
