Healthy Conflict Acts 15:22-41 Rev. Ryan Laughlin





                                                          Sermon Discussion Questions


1) After reading the passage, can you recap what was taking place? What is the context for these verses? Do you see any themes?

2) Believers have resources when it comes to dealing with conflict. What/Who do those resources look like in our daily lives? Are we quick to see Jesus as a resource? Why or why not?

3) Do the words “healthy conflict” seem contradictory? When it comes to healthy conflict what are two principles that we can practice? How do we see these principles lived out in Acts 15? (Keep in mind these principles are applicable to conflicts on a smaller scale. Chronic on-going conflict, may require other on-going steps, like seeking outside counsel, etc.)

4)Why should we address conflict? A lot of time, conflict gets pushed aside or ignored. What can happen if we don’t engage or try to reconcile? 

5) Reconciliation/reunion is a major foundation of the gospel. How is this good news for us and others? Is this encouraging to you?
