Small Group/Personal Reflection Questions 

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

  1. Who has been a great example of a peacemaker for you?
  2. The message addressed the importance for unity and peace within the church. As peacemakers, are we also called to address divisions outside of the church? If so, which ones and how? If not, why not?
  3. What are practical ways that we as peacemakers can “diminish drama”? 
  4. Read Romans 12:18 out loud. What are your initial thoughts as this verse is read? 
  5. How do respond to this quote from the sermon: “There will be times when working for peace is not possible, when boldness for justice, holiness, and upholding truth must be prioritized.” Agree/Disagree? Why? 
  6. Can you think of examples of when standing up for justice, holiness, and/or truth takes priority over peace?
