Christian Characteristics (Part 8) – Peacemakers

Pastor Tim Travis’s series on Christian characteristics focuses on peacemaking as instructed in James 4:1-12 and Matthew 5:9. Pastor Travis identifies three types of conflict Christians face: internal struggles with lust and prideinterpersonal conflicts within the church, and spiritual warfare against worldly influences. Travis argues that the root cause of these conflicts is rebellion against God, stemming from selfishness and a desire for worldly pleasures. He offers a solution emphasizing submission to God’s authorityresisting the devil, and drawing near to God through confession and humility as a path to peace and overcoming these conflicts.
