True Peace Begins with Spiritual Priorities

Be certain of where lasting peace comes from. (Ephesians 2:14, NCV)

Lasting peace can only come from Jesus and it has to come from the inside before it can be enjoyed on the outside. Lasting peace starts with the right relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Saved + Dependence on Christ + Representing Christ = Peace in any situation. (John 14:27, NIV; Isaiah 26:3, NIV)

Know the difference between disagreement and disrespect. (Romans 12:18, NIV)

    1. Own your part of the disagreement.
    2. Disagree but don’t disrespect. (1 Peter 2:17, NIV; Matthew 7:12, Philippians 2:3, Romans 12:10)
    3. Go directly to the person you disagree with. (Matthew 18:15, NIV)
    4. Believe the best about the other person.
    5. Try to explain and don’t blame. (James 1:19, NIV)
    6. Keep it relational, not confrontational. (Colossians 3:14, NIV)
    7. Pray for them, not about them. (Matthew 5:44, NIV; Colossians 3:15, NIV)

Spiritual growth is the key to improving every area of life. (Matthew 6:33, NIV)

If you want your marriage to get better, your finances to improve, or for your material success to last, it will come from growing spiritually.
