Summary: <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Once upon a time a man bought a cheap air ratchet tool...which didn't work well for long. What did he do next?</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When relationships don't quite work...when there is conflict...what is your response?</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It's easy to say 'it's not worth it, it's not worth the effort to fix...'</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Or to attack the other person</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Or to escape and deny the problem</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">But what about peacemaking responses? Jesus says 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.' This means God himself is a peacemaker.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This sermon proclaims the good news of God's reconciliation for us...the repair of relationships through Jesus. God made us his friends. And he calls and equips us to be peacemakers in our relationships too.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This sermon was preached at <a title="Pakenham Lakeside Church" href="http://www.pakenhamlakesidechurch.org.au">Pakenham Lakeside Church</a> on Sunday 28th May 2017.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It can be enhanced by viewing the <a title="Peacemaker prezi" href="https://prezi.com/view/ZuKY7f2puWWZCMcjcg5B/">Prezi zooming visuals found at this link.</a></span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy!</span></p><br> <p> </p>
