Check yourself. It’s not a cakewalk, but it is vital that our faith is real, that we love God’s truth (even when it is hard to hear), that we know how to forgive and submit, that we remain humble and free, and that we renounce things that don’t please God. Because that’s what we’re asking of others…and you can’t give away what you don’t have.

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).”
