Peace to you | Empires, Umpires, and the Peace of Christ


Who gets to make the call about what constitutes peace? In Colossians 3:15, Paul tells the church to let the peace of Christ rule—to act as our umpire. From the Roman Empire to our own world, governments and institutions shape the conditions in which people live. Some of their actions promote peace and flourishing; others undermine them. How do we discern the difference? Join Pastor Jenn as she explores what Christ’s peace looks like, how it guides our judgments, and what it means to respond with compassion, kindness, humility, patience, and love.
