In her message True Victory Is Peace, Ericka Phipps unpacks Matthew 5:9 with a powerful reminder that real victory isn’t about winning arguments or proving points, but about becoming a true peacemaker. Using the image of fire and extinguishers, she illustrates how conflict can spread out of control when fueled by anger, gossip, or bitterness, but how followers of Jesus are called to step in and bring peace instead. She challenges listeners to reflect on whether they are peace-fakers, peace-takers, or true peacemakers, pointing to Jesus as the ultimate example who reconciled us to God through the cross. Ericka emphasizes that peace must first come from God, and that living it out requires daily recharging, wisdom, and humility. Her message lands with a clear call: true victory is found not in fighting harder, but in letting the peace of Christ rule in our hearts.
