Some teams experience conflict during their competitions, but a disagreement doesn't mean it's time to give up. This week, we'll hear from Jesus about how we can love and care for others even if we're facing conflict at the moment. Jesus' words and the way he modeled them for us help us see how God can help repair broken friendships.
