GRA - Who are the Reconcilers in Your Church? - Wildwood Bible Church - Anchorage, AK |
Jesus promises to give us everything we need to do the work he assigns to us. As a body of believers, we each are given different gifts to serve one other and to serve those outside of the church.
Who in your church do you believe has natural gifts as a reconciler? Who is someone you believe that people in your congregation seek for advice in conflict?
Please take a moment to identify one or more people who have these characteristics:
1. This person is a spiritually mature person.
2. This person is regularly in the Word of God.
3. Others go to this person for advice because they trust him or her.
4. This person has great listening skills and does not talk too much.
5. This person demonstrates peacemaking skills in his or her own life, such as admitting his or her own wrongs and forgiving others.
6. This person is not intimidated or scared by emotions and outbursts if they occur, and he or she controls his/her own emotions in highly charged situations.
7. This person is not perceived to be highly opinionated or rigid, and he or she can be persuaded to change his/her mind.
8. This person is willing to speak the truth in love and possesses a high degree of courage and concern for others.
9. Even if you disagree with this person’s stand on an issue, you feel comfortable talking to him/her and can still trust him/her.
10. I would personally recommend this person as a leader in our congregation who could help us work through some difficult conflicts.
