Summary: The LORD Jesus Christ gives the biblical mandate to dealing with conflicts in the church.
“Dealing With Conflicts Biblically”
Matthew 18:15-17
A. The first stage in resolving conflict is doing it ALONE (meaning one on one). (v. 15)
B. The second stage in resolving conflict is doing it ADDITIONALLY (taking one or two more witnesses). (v. 16)
C. The third stage in resolving conflict is doing it ALTOGETHER as a church. (v. 17a)
D. The fourth stage in resolving conflict is doing it by ABSTINENCE (meaning through church discipline by breaking fellowship with the sinning brother). (v. 17b)
