Title: Peacemakers, Not Just Peacekeepers

We are called to be peacemakers not just peacekeepers.

Issues that have caused division among Christians
Matthew 22:36-40
“Any admonition that declares that we must rule should be checked with the immediate reminder that
Christ did not. It is the cross-not the boardroom, not the oval office, and the not the box office-that is the
absolute center of the Kingdom of God.”
Who wants us to live in fear of each other? Satan
John 13:34-35
The Roman Empire changed because of Love
John 13:15-16

 1. Realize we are not the savior of the church – Colossians 1:18
2. We are not the savior of the church – 1 John 4:14
3. We are to become a slave, servant to all – Mark 10:42-45

Rachell Denhollander – “Should you ever reach the point of truly facing what you have done,
the guilt will be crushing. And that is what makes the gospel of Christ so sweet. Because it
extends grace and hope and mercy where none is found. And it will be there for you. I pray
you experience the soul-crushing weight of guilt so you may someday experience true
repentance and true forgiveness from God, which you need far more than forgiveness from
me – though I extend that to you as well.”

4. Love others – John 13:34-35
5. How do you engage others – James 3:9-12, Philippians 2:4-5
6. Let love rule! – 1John 4:7-12

We are called to be peacemakers not peacekeepers as Jesus
followers.
