House Church Discussion Questions

Scripture Reference: Luke 1:39-45

1. Why is peace such a prominent theme in the Bible?
2. Read Matthew 10:34. Jesus says He did not come to bring peace, but a sword. How can He say this and also be the Prince of Peace in Isaiah 9?
3. How should the peace that we experience with God be extended to one another?
4. Read Romans 12:14-21, and give closer attention to verse 18. In what way, if any, do you struggle with the thoughts presented by Paul? With coworkers, family, government, etc.?
