A Harvest of Peace – v2

Christ’s promise
if we follow His calling
faithful to the Master
giving Him our all

Open to His message
hearing Him in our hearts
a harvest of peace in the offing
if we offer them Christ’s love

If we follow, if we are faithful
God will reward us
a crown of glory
at the end of this life

Christ’s promise
if we follow His calling
faithful to our Master
giving Him our all

and second in a two-part sermon series entitled
“Sensitivity Training II: When Church Folk Don’t Get Along.”
Peter said he “was not preaching this sermon because we are having difficulty with this issue. I am preaching it because I firmly believe the best time to consider matters such as this is when tensions are not high and we can reflect on good spiritual practices that can keep our relationships healthy.  The middle part of Matthew 18 offers a good plan for conflict resolution.”
