Human behavior is motivated by internal thoughts and beliefs but is also influenced by our social surroundings. Although academic theories help us understand how to navigate social influence and differences, God’s Word serves as the ultimate guide.

The above Scripture explores conflict resolution, and its message can be applied to individual or larger social situations. How could you use Matthew 18:15-17 as a guide to resolve conflict in your own life, or aid others in communicating and cooperating?
