Peace must extend beyond our hearts into our relationships.

Be a peacemaker in your family, church, and community.

Tit Sèmon: Viv ak Lapè ak Lanmou nan Kè Nou
Referans Biblik:
Jan 14:27 — “Mwen kite lapè pou nou…”
1 Korentyen 13:13 — “…pi gwo ladan yo se lanmou.”
Entwodiksyon
Nan yon mond ki plen pwoblèm, konfli, ak enkyetid, Bondye rele nou pou viv yon lòt jan. Nou pa dwe viv nan dezòd, men nan lapè ak lanmou. Sa yo pa sèlman santiman, men yo se fwi relasyon nou ak Bondye.
1. Lapè Soti nan Bondye
Vrè lapè pa vle di pa gen pwoblèm, men li vle di Bondye prezan.
- Jezi ban nou yon lapè mond lan pa ka bay.
- Lè nou mete konfyans nou nan Bondye, nou pa bezwen pè.
- Lapè pwoteje kè nou ak lespri nou (Filipyen 4:7).
Aplikasyon:
Rete kole ak Bondye nan lapriyè ak nan Pawòl Li. Se la lapè grandi.
2. Lanmou se Fondasyon Lavi Kretyen
Lanmou pa yon opsyon, li obligatwa.
- Bondye se lanmou (1 Jan 4:8).
- Lanmou montre nati Bondye nan nou.
- San lanmou, tout sa nou fè pa gen valè (1 Korentyen 13:1-3).
Aplikasyon:
Chwazi renmen menm lè li difisil. Renmen pwochen ou, padone fasil, epi sèvi ak kè kontan.
3. Viv an Lapè ak Lòt Moun
Lapè dwe parèt nan relasyon nou ak lòt moun.
- Evite konfli ki pa nesesè.
- Pa prese fache, men koute plis.
- Chèche fè lapè ak lòt moun.
Aplikasyon:
Fè yon moun ki pote lapè nan fanmi ou, nan legliz ou, ak nan kominote a.
4. Mache Chak Jou nan Lanmou ak Lapè
Sa mande yon angajman chak jou.
- Mete santiman ou nan men Bondye.
- Kite Sentespri gide ou.
- Pratike jantiyès, pasyans, ak imilite.
Konklizyon
Viv ak lapè ak lanmou nan kè nou se yon temwayaj pou mond lan. Lè nou fè sa, nou montre Kris nan lavi nou.
Apèl:
Mande Bondye jodi a pou ranpli kè ou ak lapè ak lanmou Li, pou lòt moun ka wè Li atravè ou.
