Main Ideas:
Sometimes it feels like life would be peaceful if it weren’t for all the people.
Real peace comes from whole and healthy relationships.
Jesus is the source of true peace
Peace with each other begins with peace with God.
Jesus tears down every wall we build to keep ourselves apart
Loved and forgiven people love and forgive people.
Peace is a gift.
The closer we get to Jesus, the closer we get to each other.
When we accept what Jesus has done for us, it sets us free to accept others… faults and all
We experience God’s true peace when we offer it to each other.
Invitation:
Identify your THEM.
Ask God to show you one thing he enjoys about THEM.
Then thank him that he lived, died, and rose for THEM… and for YOU.
Discussion Questions:
What is your favorite part of the holidays? What is your least favorite?
Why do you think relationships, especially with family, coworkers, or neighbors, so often disrupt our sense of peace?
Read Ephesians 2:14. How do you think peace with God serve as the foundation for peace with others?
How might viewing conflict as an opportunity for grace and peacemaking change your approach to relationships?
Who is your “THEM” (someone you struggle to get along with) and how might Jesus’ love for them change your perspective?
