\nToo often disputes escalate in churches because we fail to grab hold of God’s power<\/a> to rise above in conflict.<\/p>\n

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. (Eph. 2:6-7)<\/em><\/p>\n

Our Position in Christ Gives Us Power to Rise Above in Conflict<\/h2>\n

Positionally, seated in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, we’re already in a place that would give us the perspective needed to deal with conflict in a Christ-like manner. But, because we don’t always live in accordance with our position in Him, we find ourselves in unhealthy conflict.<\/p>\n

The Steering the Church Toward God’s Power Leadership Guide<\/strong><\/a> gives four reasons why God’s power is essential for leaders in dealing with conflict. This resource also points to the need for God’s power in 24 other leadership tasks and responsibilities.<\/p>\n
