The good side is when we use the peacemaking steps that Jesus gave us in Matthew 18:15-20. In today's message, Pastor John addresses the first practical steps of peacemaking.

In this message, Pastor John reviews responses to conflict that are peace faking and peace breaking, before we see God's great peace making response.
