As God invites me to experience His peace in my life, He also calls me to become a "peacemaker" in this world. But I can't produce the kind of peace in someone else's life that He produces in mine. So how do I help bring peace into my community and my relationships in spite of my own limitations? In a world full of hostility and conflict and anxiety, how do I plant seeds of peace?

Scripture References: James 3:18, Colossians 3:12, Mark 2:5, John 11:35, John 13:15, Matthew 5:9

From Series: "Peacemakers"

We are living in a very confrontational time in our culture. Social media, podcasts, news outlets, and sometimes even personal conversations seem to flood us with polarizing differences of opinion on a variety of topics. Additionally, we are urged to not only pick a side but to attack or at least argue with anyone proposing a different point of view. But winning arguments and criticizing people who think or act differently than us is really the exact opposite of what Jesus calls us to do. Jesus not only came into this world to bring peace but to challenge His followers to become peacemakers. For the next several weeks at Flagstone, we are going to discover together what it means to be a peacemaker and how we can be source of peace in a world seemingly bent on conflict.
