True Wisdom vs. Earthly Wisdom: Being Peacemakers in a Divided World | 3/8/25

In a world where everyone wants to win the argument and "be authentic to themselves," Pastor Mark challenges us to discover what biblical wisdom really looks like. Continuing our Authentic Faith series and drawing from James 3:13-18, this powerful sermon contrasts earthly wisdom—driven by ego, envy, and selfish ambition—with heavenly wisdom that brings peace, gentleness, and restoration. Mark shares practical advice for Christians living in our divided society: "Not everything that comes into your head has to come out your mouth" and "Ask yourself what comes next before you speak." With inspiring stories of churches making a real difference in their communities, this message calls believers to be peacemakers who listen more than they argue, love instead of retaliate, and show the world what true wisdom looks like. Perfect for anyone struggling with conflict in relationships, workplaces, or online interactions, this sermon offers hope for the "exhausted middle" who are tired of constant division and ready to be part of God's solution. flbc.org.au
