We conclude our series about Rage in our October 5 Sunday gathering. Discussion Questions are below:

1. Matthew 5:9 says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.” What does it mean to you to “carry on the family business” of your heavenly Father?
2. 2 Corinthians 5:18 says God has given us the “ministry of reconciliation.” What does reconciliation require that is different from just “keeping the peace”?
3. In Ephesians 6:12 Paul reminds us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood. How might remembering the real enemy change how you approach conflict with people?
4. What’s the difference between being a peacekeeper (avoiding conflict) and being a peacemaker (entering conflict to bring peace)? Which do you more naturally lean toward?
5. Where in your life right now might God be inviting you to be a peacemaker—at work, in your family, in your neighborhood, or in the church?
6. What are some practical ways we can bring peace into spaces that are full of outrage (online, in conversations, in public discourse)?
7. How do we balance speaking truth with being a peacemaker, especially when truth itself can feel divisive?
8. Peacemaking often requires laying down pride, absorbing offense, or even being misunderstood by both sides. What cost of peacemaking feels hardest for you?
9. Have you ever seen reconciliation happen in a situation where it seemed impossible? What role did humility, forgiveness, or God’s Spirit play in that?
10. Imagine if our church/community truly lived as peacemakers. What would look different?
11. What small step could you take this week to embody the peace of Christ in one specific relationship or situation?
