April's Topic: Peace - Proving you care more about each other than winning an argument.

GOD VIEW: The connection between peace and God's
character, as shown through God's big story.

When Adam and Eve decided that their way was better than God’s way and broke God’s rule, they changed the relationship between God and His creation. When once everything and everyone could be in the presence of God, now we were at odds with God. God could have done anything He wanted, including wiping us out and starting over. But instead, God decided to make peace with us. Ultimately God did this through His Son, Jesus.

Memory Verse: “SO LET US DO ALL WE CAN TO LIVE IN PEACE. AND LET US WORK HARD TO BUILD UP ONE ANOTHER.” -ROMANS 14:19, NIRV
