Sermon: “Learning to Talk”
Our scriptures this week highlight a theme that is the focus of our October Peace with Justice series — learning to talk with one another. As people of faith, we are called to “put on Christ” when we are encountering difficult situations. Conflicts in this world are inevitable, but the mark of a Christian seems to be about how we act to be peacemakers in whatever the situation we face. I think this applies to situations with others, but also to internal conflicts we face.
Romans 13:8-14
