Welcome to River City Church Online. Thank you for joining us today as we start our new series called Pursuing Peace In A Divided World.
Today's message has been presented by our Pastor Darrell Bierman.

I’ll make the case that we ought to pursue peace, and I’ll make this case by sharing the big 3 New Testament injunction-passages concerning peace, which are:
(Romans 12:17-18) Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. (12:17-18)
(Romans 14:19) Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
(Hebrews 12:14) Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

Plus, the 1-big Old Testament injunction-passage on peace (Psalm 34:14) seek peace & purse it.
It’s not very feasible that we can be at peace with everyone all the time.

In fact, Jesus suggests that we’re doing something wrong if everyone speaks well of us (see Luke 6:26).

But when there is conflict with others, it shouldn’t be because we’re holding grudges and refusing to reconcile.

If we’re obedient to God, there will be friction with others.

But as much as it’s up to us, peace with others is a priority.

So HOW do we make peace a priority?

Where should our focus be?

We welcome you to join us for our service.

Café will be open right after the service.
We are located at 215 South Street, Cambridge, Ontario.

God bless you today and we hope to see you soon.
