Solving Those Problems• Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.
Jas. 1:19• Understand the other side.
1 Pet. 3:7• When there is angst: speak
to one another, not about one another. cp. Matt. 18:15
• When you have a complaint against another: remember to forgive. Col. 3:12-14

Conclusion• The work of our Lord is to build up the
body of Christ.• We’ll need to lovingly, effectively, and
positively endeavor unity… (Eph. 4:1ff)• That will only happen if we
COMMUNICATE.
