Message presented by Rev. Frank Ruffatto

The Gospel of Peace brings division.

In this episode of Redeemer’s Refuge we learn Jesus gives us a peace that the world cannot give, a peace that passes all understanding. This is the peace between God and man. It’s a peace in believers’ hearts. It’s the peace of knowing that our sins are forgiven. Yet, some would like the Gospel to give world peace, a utopia on earth. But that will never happen. Because of sin, Jesus divides like nothing else – even more than politics! Some will believe, and some will refuse.

Division and Perfect Peace is based on these scriptures:

• Psalm 119:81-88

• Jeremiah 23:16-29

• Hebrews 11:17-31; 12:1-3

• Luke 12:49-53
