The Vine is beginning a 12 week-long series on peacemaking. In this first sermon, Mark shares an overview of the series and discusses how we must begin by finding peace with God.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
1. Mark shares two different definitions of peace. What are they, and what are the ramifications of each definition?
2. What would you say undercuts your peace with God?
3. How would you describe the framework you were given to understand God? What was helpful? What has been problematic?
4. Read Psalm 16:11. Read it a second time and replace “presence” with “face". How does it read differently?
5. Read Numbers 6:24-26. What is the power displayed in God’s face?
6. Mark offers an alternative to AW Tozer’s quote. "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” Instead, "what comes to God’s mind when God thinks of us is the most important thing about us." Why might that be the case?
