The scripture reference is from Ephesians 6:15.Key VersesEphesians 6:15Ephesians 4:26-272 Corinthians 2:10-11Galatians 2:20Romans 5:1John 14:27QuestionsHow does Satan use anger and conflict as weapons against Christians, and why is this strategy so effective in our current culture?What does it mean to have 'peace with God, peace with people, and peace with ourselves'? Which of these three do you struggle with most?How can we distinguish between being peaceful and being passive when facing injustice or difficult conversations?Pastor Jared mentioned that 'people are not enemies to fear, but hostages to rescue.' How does this perspective change the way we approach conflict with others?What are some practical ways we can 'put on the readiness of the gospel of peace' in our daily interactions?How can Christians engage in controversial topics (like the sanctity of life) while maintaining the peace and love of Christ?What role does social media play in stirring up anger and contempt? How can we use it more wisely?How can we help our church community become a place characterized by peace rather than conflict?Life ApplicationThis week, identify one relationship or situation in your life where you've been walking in anger, contempt, or conflict. Commit to approaching that situation with the 'shoes of peace' - seeking reconciliation, showing compassion, and responding with Christ-like love rather than reacting in anger. Practice taking a moment to pray for peace before engaging in any potentially difficult conversation.Key TakeawaysSatan's strategy is to lure Christians into the muddy ground of anger and conflict where they become vulnerable to spiritual attackThe gospel of peace provides firm footing through three types of peace: peace with God, peace with people, and peace with ourselvesPeace doesn't mean passivity - Christians are called to engage difficult conversations and fight injustice while maintaining Christ-like love and gracePeople are not enemies to fear but hostages to rescue, which changes how we approach conflict and controversyWalking in peace requires intentional effort to resist the cultural pull toward outrage and contempt------------------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Grace Pointe!
