REVOLUTION | CONVICTION SEVEN | Aaron Holbrough
The peace message of Jesus is often misunderstood, yet central to his teaching. That's why He will interrupt our concept of what peace really is and offer an alternative that leads to human flourishing for all involved.

If we find ourselves, in these fraught times, succumbing to a desire to hoard and take care of our own, we may find it helpful to recognize that what we have is not really our "own" but a gift from God, given so that we can share.

Jesus is what God has to say. If we treat the bible as a flat text where every verse carries equal weight then we either resolve those conflicts by making arbitrary decisions about what applies and what doesn’t or we just stay confused. A Jesus-centered approach to scripture can help resolve the conflict.
