A new MP3 sermon from Covenant Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Don’t Destroy Your Brother, Rather Pursue Peace. Romans 14:14-23 Subtitle: Romans/Swann Speaker: Pastor Charles Swann Broadcaster: Covenant Baptist Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 3/23/2025 Bible: Romans 14:14-18 Length: 58 min.

In our “One Anothers” series, looking at “one another” lines in the New Testament, today's message is about why and how we pursue peace and mutual edification.

In this episode of Life in Perspective, I'm sharing a word that's been heavy on my heart—pursuing peace. Lately, God has been challenging me to seek peace in my relationships and respond to every situation with love, reflecting His heart toward others. Consider this an impromptu Bible study, where I dive into what He's teaching me in this season.Now, full transparency—the audio isn't perfect (we're still figuring out this virtual recording thing

The US and Russia met on Tuesday for the first time in Saudi Arabia to begin negotiations on the future of Ukraine. The two sides agreed to set up teams that will hammer out an agreement. Ukrainian and European leaders are not happy about being left out. Also, in the wake of yet another airline disaster, many are wondering whether air travel is more dangerous than in the past or if we're just hearing about crashes more often than we used to. A Delta flight flipped over on Monday after landing in Toronto. And, after World War II, center-right parties in Germany formed a solid buffer against extremist parties, refusing to cooperate with them. Up until now, that buffer seemed to hold. But a gamble from Friedrich Merz, Germany's likely next chancellor, to accept the votes of far-right lawmakers to try and pass his hard-line immigration laws, has led many to say he has broken the firewall.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

The pursuit of God's peace

Teresa Moyer

On Sunday, June 23, 2024, Rev. Clarence Veld preached "Pursue Peace and Holiness" from Hebrews 12:1-17.

Are you yearning for a change in your life, especially one that brings you closer to your true self? This episode might just be the nudge you need. In this episode, we unfold the essence of rewilding – a term that transcends its ecological roots to embody a spiritual awakening and connection with the natural world. Hillarie Maddox, a mother, aspiring farmer, community builder and the visionary behind Black Girl Country Living, shares her profound shift from the corporate grind to a life steeped in nature, healing, and community on Whidbey Island.Join in as Hillarie recounts her journey– from her aspirations for big-city success to her courageous leap into a life that truly resonates with her soul. She discusses the challenges and triumphs of transitioning multiple times, the power of visibility in attracting life-altering opportunities, and the importance of aligning one's work with deeply held values.Her story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to seek a more fulfilling path, and that transitions are not just about the physical move from one place to another but also about the spiritual passage from one state of being to another. GEMS DROPPED“When ​we ​allow ​ourselves ​to ​be ​free ​and ​have ​the ​privilege… ​​​it ​really ​ends ​up ​being ​like ​​coming ​back ​into ​this ​formative ​early ​part ​of myself, ​this ​foundational ​part ​of ​me ​as ​a ​child ​to ​live ​a ​fuller ​expression ​of ​that ​kid now.” - Monique R.

This chapter praises God for always assisting teh righteous and saving them from their pursuers and enemies. In the centre of the chapter though, David speaks of "guard your tongue from evil and your lips from falsehood - seek peace and pursue it!" How does this fit in?

SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 3:8-14SHOW NOTES: God's Word is our daily source of strength and encouragement. Walk with God is part of our new ministry, Discover God's Truth. We invite you to subscribe to our new ministry website – Discover God's Truth. In this lesson, Peter summarizes his teaching from earlier verses in the letter. "Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble." – 1 Peter 3:8What does that look like? What do we observe in others? What do others see in me? Do we walk away from situations when someone is rude or unkind? If we respond correctly, we get a deep sense that we have chosen the “godly, right way to act and live.” The Lord's blessing in our lives will look different than we might expect, but He promises to bless us, may it be in this life and all of eternity. "He must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it." – 1 Peter 3:11Peter reminds us that suffering for the sake of righteousness will bring God's blessing. He also assures us we need not fear or be troubled because the Lord's eyes are on the righteous. The Lord does hear our prayers.SONG: "Peace" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW6xcmqfiY4

Are you tired of feeling like you have to do it all to be a "good Christian family"? We are very quick to judge ourselves as not doing the right things, or not doing enough things to be a good Christian family.  This is a false standard.  What is a good Christian family anyway!  Our goal should be to create a space where our children grow in their faith and in their confidence to be who God made them be, our goal needs to be peace and harmony in our home - not just copying what other Christian families do.  When we know what is important to us, we can find the right way to make that happen in our family.  But we have to remember, every family is different. And trying to keep up with the Christian Jones's is never going to work!   For full transcript: Stop Doing All the Things Good Christian Families are Doing   Further Listening:  10 Ways Parents make Parenting Hard - Harder than I has to be: We can make it harder than it has to be by the habits we get caught up with but you can catch yourself and start responding differently.

Romans 14:19 So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another. Today's verse presents the conclusion to Paul's encouragement to his readers about how to relate to one another when there's a difference of opinion on disputable matters, issues where the Scriptures don't give clear direction. Therefore, this verse is a perfect live to love scripture encouragement. Let's read it again. “So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.” We can draw two goals for our relationships in such circumstances. First, pursue whatever will make for peace. Imagine a lake, the surface of which is very still. There are no waves. If you throw a rock into the lake, it disturbs the surface of the water and creates a ripple. The Holy Spirit is telling us that we are to relate to one another in such a way that there is no disturbances in our relationship with Jesus on an issue where we differ. Sometimes this is obvious if we simply pay attention to another person's countenance. Other times it's not quite so obvious and we might need to ask questions to find out where the Lord has them on an issue. Then we can do all that we can to encourage them in what they believe is pleasing to the Lord. So first, we pursue peace as we live to love with Jesus. Second, we pursue whatever builds up our brother or sister in their faith, their relationship with Jesus. The word for build up is a compound word in the Greek. oikos which is home or house, and dome which is to build. The idea is that we are to do whatever we can to edify our brother. Paul wrote to the Ephesians. Ephesians 4:29 “Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.” Remember that we believers are God's household “in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit” (Eph. 2:21-22). So second, we pursue whatever edifies and builds up the faith of our brothers and sisters. Living to love with Jesus is pursuing peace and edification among our brothers and sisters in Christ. Think how this might apply to you and your spouse or you and your parents, if you are believers. These differences of opinion on these issues more often than not occur among family members. Think back over times when you have gotten in a debate or argument over some thing that hasn't been specifically addressed in Scripture such as music, food, and entertainment preferences. Did you pursue peace and edification in those occasions? If not, it might be a good idea to repent today to them, just to plant these words deep in your heart. I hope we will also purpose going forward to take to heart Paul's encouragement from this verse. Pursue peace and edification.
