The Cost of Peace

Pastor Ben Kingston shares the cry for help that this world experiences and directs us to appreciate the peace that God gives us.
This world is longing for peace. This world is dying for peace. This world is spending for peace. This world is drinking and drugging for peace. The problem is peace doesn’t come from any of those things.
Biblical peace – 2 types – Peace with God and Peace of God.
So what is the cost of peace? First to Christ and then to us.
- To Christ
- His life
- A tortured death
- A life of poverty
- A life of humble service
- A life of rejection
- A moment of rejection
- To us
- Humble acceptance of Christ’s sacrifice for our sins
- Our urges and appetites
- Our Kingdom and pride
- Our wisdom
