Sermon: The Kiss of Peace

The Kiss of Peace

Psalm 85:4-13

The six promises of PEACE from in the Scripture:

1. The Gift of God (Psalm 29:11)
2. Abundant (Psalm 119:165)
3. Perfect (Isaiah 26:3)
4. Like a River (Isaiah 48:18)
5. Legacy of Christ (John 14:27; 16:33)
6. Passes Understanding (Philippians 4:7)

How do we get PEACE?  Well, only through Jesus is it possible:

1. Isaiah 53:5
2. Acts 10:36
3. Romans 5:1
4. Ephesians 2:14
5. Colossians 1:20

Our duty of seeking PEACE:

1. Job 22:21
2. Psalm 34:14
3. Isaiah 27:5
4. Colossians 3:15

We cultivate PEACE in the Church:

1. 1 Corinthians 14:33
2. 2 Corinthians 13:11-12
3. Ephesians 4:2-3
4. Philippians 4:2
5. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15
6. 2 Timothy 2:22-26

Disclaimer:

Matthew 10:34-42 must be understood then in the whole context of the whole narrative.  Look at Matthew 10:11-16 as it sets the premise.
