Summary
As we wrap up our series, “Peace Talks,” JP challenges us to adopt a perspective focused on humility and wisdom from God, which sets the stage for real peace in our lives. JP looks to James 3:14-18 to encourage us to follow a pattern of peace by being kind, pure, and open to others, creating stronger and healthier relationships. Finally, we are reminded that peace is a team effort—when we work with God and each other, we can build a life filled with love and purpose.
The perspective that leads to peace
The pattern that leads to peace
The partnership that leads to peace

Why is it important to partner with God in pursuing peace rather than trying to do it alone?
