Having re-read the text and listened to the sermon, in summary, what is a peacemaker, biblically? *What is the difference between making biblical peace with someone as opposed to settling for mere politeness and outward peace? *What dangers do you see in us as believers settling for “counterfeit peace” in our relationships? *How can (1) gossip and slander or (2) making sinful judgments, or (3) unforgiveness hinder a lack of peace in relationships? *When we find ourselves in conflict with another person, what does it look like for us to do our part to seek to make peace and reconcile with the other individual? *How personally do you want to grow in becoming more of a biblical peacemaker? *Consider taking taking to pray, asking God to help us to grow in becoming true peacemakers.
