It’s the third week of our series “I Choose”, and in this message Pastor Elijah Schiarelli discusses what it really means to live as people of peace in a world that seems allergic to it. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and practical steps, he shares three keys to choosing peace: recognizing it’s a choice we get to make, beginning with empathy, and modeling our lives after Jesus.
Peace doesn’t happen by accident. It’s something we plan for, fight for, and practice daily through the power of the Holy Spirit. The world may not yet reflect the beauty that is described in the timeless song ‘It’s a Wonderful World’ , but when we live as people of peace, we can bring glimpses of God’s wonderful world to life right where we are.
