Making Peace First
"First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift."Matthew 5:24
Reflection
Jesus said to stop worship and go make peace. To God, a broken friendship matters more than a perfect service.
Prayer
Jesus, give me courage to go and make peace. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What did Jesus say to do before bringing a gift?
- Why does a broken friendship matter so much to God?
- Who might you need to make peace with?
5-minute activity
