Episode 36: Heavenly Peace

Readings: Hebrews 11:29-12:2; Luke 12:49-56

As we continue following Jesus on his path to Jerusalem, the tone of Jesus’ speech changes in today’s gospel as he asks, “Do you think I have come to bring peace on earth?” Pastor Amy reminds us that the peace Jesus brings is not a fake peace of denial and dishonesty, but a deep, life-changing peace that kindles us to seek more of God’s loving kindness for this world, even when it leads to conflict.
