We’re familiar with the forgiveness partof resolving conflict, butt did you notice Jesus’ other command? As peacemakers, we take our lumps just like everyone else. We pray that God makes us unoffendable. We know that we’re not perfect and we do our level-best to overlook offenses. But sometimes, as Jesus said, we must rebuke.

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).”
