King and Kingdom: Blessed are the Peacemakers and the Persecuted

March 6, 2016 Speaker: Justin Crowe Series: King and Kingdom

Passage: Matthew 5:9– 9:12

MISSIONAL COMMUNITY QUESTIONS

What from this past Sunday's teaching particularly caught your attention, encouraged, challenged, or confused you?

1. In what specific ways can we be 'peacemakers'?

2. What are some ways we see persecution for being Christian in our culture?
How can we rejoice and be glad in those?

3. How can we look forward to our great reward in heaven (Heb. 1:26, Matt. 5:12) and yet remain engaged for Christ in our present world (Matt 28:19, Acts 17)?

4. How is looking forward to that reward not considered selfish?

5. Read Phil 1:27-30, Matthew 10:34-39 and Matthew 5:9, Romans 12:18, 1 Peter 3:11. How do we reconcile these two sets of passages?
