What if peace isn’t just a feeling—but a way of walking?
We continue our journey into Cultivating Peace with a bold question: Can the church truly be a witness of reconciliation in a world built on division?
Isaiah warns of rejecting the “gently flowing waters” of peace, while Paul urges us to bind peace to our feet like sandals, ready to walk into hard places.
We’ll explore real detours from the path of peace, honest differences between believers, and the deep preparation it takes to become people who instinctively love even our enemies. Along the way, we’ll consider Cornelius and Peter, Paul and Barnabas—and even a martyr who turned back to rescue his enemy.
Join us as we ask: What shapes your reflexes when peace is on the line? And how do we learn to walk the way of Jesus... no matter the cost?
