Children's Message: Conflict Resolution (Matthew

In this message, based on the Matthew 18 model for conflict resolution, children will observe how items are "fixed", and learn that Jesus thinks it is important to fix (or resolve) problems that we might have with one another. Relationships are important to Jesus, and He wants us to live in harmony with those around us. Through prayer and considerate conversation we can do our best to live at peace with each other.

Use this children's sermon to teach on conflict resolution from Matthew 18:15-20. It includes a simple object lesson on "fixing" things that are broken. Download the teaching notes below and watch our video demonstration as you prepare to teach.

Matthew 18:15-20
18:15 "If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one.

18:16 But if you are not listened to, take one or two others along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

18:17 If the member refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

18:18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

18:19 Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.

18:20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them."
