The Anatomy of Conflict

From the beginning, the enemy has sought to divide us and bring conflict among humans. Only God can create true unity among people. And once we make peace with him, then – and only then – can we live in true peace with each other. Through Christ, barriers of division have been removed. Hostility for one another has been put to death. But outside of God, those barriers and hostility remain. Waging peace is not a job for the faint of heart. It is not a job for the “old man.” It is a job for the “one new man.” We must lead the way.

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).”
