Peacemaking and the Parable of the Talents - March. 4 2018 - a podcast by VOX Community Podcast

Bonnie Lewis, our guest speaker from Austin, TX, addresses the topic of peacemaking amid conflicts. She provides a unique perspective on the parable of the talents in Mathew 25:14-30. Dictionaries define peace as the absence of conflict, yet we learn from these verses that there is more --- the reward of entering the joy of the Lord. Bonnie, when struggling to find peace in the birth of her stillborn child, eventually realized that one’s perception of God affects the ability to gain reconciliation, peace, and joy. If we don’t trust that God is good and can bring joy and peace during conflict, we become like the servant, in verse 24, who distrusted his master. His fear and misunderstanding of his master’s goodness and grace caused him to be judged thereby with a loss of the rewards, joy and peace. What you believe about God affects your ability to find peace and reconciliation in a difficult situation.
