Message: “Our Great High Priest” from Dr. Jim Mann

We must wage peace as the meek – the restrained and controlled power of God. We can appease no more. Jesus promised us in the days to come: “But when they hand you over, don’t worry about how or what you are to speak. For you will be given what to say at that hour,” (Matthew 10:19, CSB) Those days are coming…perhaps here. As the Spirit directs us in what to say, let us follow Paul’s lead on how to say it: We won’t be rude. We won’t be presumptuous. We won’t be defensive. We won’t assume knowledge. We won’t needlessly attack. But as ambassadors and ministers of reconciliation, we will cry out to a lost world, “Be reconciled to God.” And you will be blessed and called the children of God.

From Series: "Waging Peace"

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God.” ~ Jesus (Matt. 5:9) Our world is one of conflict, division, and violence. Our nation is being torn apart before our eyes. We’re at a boiling point and we long for peace. But how can we find it? How can we promote it? The answer lies in the Church: “God…reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:18).” In this sermon series by Dr. Jim Mann, we will discover the art of “waging peace,” how it will bless our own lives and relationships, and ultimately change the world. “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts (Col. 3:15).”
