Blessed Are the Peacemakers Spirit Talk Collection, Book 3
25 messages on living out the kingdom of God in everyday life
What does it look like to follow Jesus when relationships break down, when tragedy strikes, or when life’s interruptions keep coming? Preached to a real congregation and drawn largely from the Gospel of Matthew, these messages take Jesus’ parables and teachings and bring them home to the places where we live, work, and worship.
Each message opens with the full Scripture reading and a story that draws you in. There’s the father who watched his son struggle with a rock that was too big to lift alone, the farmer who boasted about plowing on Sunday, and Mark Lowry writing the words to “Mary, Did You Know?” for his church choir.
Inside, you’ll find messages such as:
- True Freedom: finding rest in Jesus’ easy yoke (Matthew 11)
- Straight Talk: Jesus’ way to heal conflict between brothers and sisters (Matthew 18)
- Unmerited Favor: the workers in the vineyard and the surprise of grace
- Why?: where God is when tragedy strikes
- Looking for God’s Footprints: Joseph and God’s hand in our hardest seasons
- In the Boat: stepping out in faith when the storm rises
- Can a Rich Person Go to Heaven?: what really holds our hearts
- Interruptions vs. Opportunities: what Jesus did when He was interrupted
From harvest to the manger
The collection closes with All Saints, Thanksgiving (Turkey Day, and More), and three Advent messages, each opening with a beloved Christmas song: Comfort, Needed, Let It Shine!, and Mary, Did You Know?
Includes a Scripture index, so you can easily find a message on the passage you’re studying or preaching.
Perfect for:
- a weekly devotional or a reading plan for the fall and Advent
- small groups and Sunday school classes
- pastors and lay speakers looking for fresh ideas and illustrations
Available in paperback and Kindle.
