Yo'el Berkowitz
Watch today's Peacemaker Conversation on YouTube
Today's Peacemaker Conversation is with Yo'el Berkowitz. Yo'el lives in southern Israel. He is a serious student of the Bible and has a wonderful perspective to share informed by his heritage, living in the land of Israel, and his life long pursuit of studying the scriptures.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-bi9kM6yN-rlUh3nLyeKJQHome Group Questions:
1. What did you learn from the conversation with Yo’el about peace?
2. How has your understanding of what Jesus said in Matthew 5.9, “Blessed are the peacemakers...” changed through this series and after hearing Yo’el’s perspective today?
3. We often think of peace as the absence of conflict. Based on what we learned today, what would be a fuller understanding of the biblical idea of peace?
4. Why do we so often experience the absence of shalom, peace, in the world around us?
5. According the the Law of Moses, the people of God had to make a peace offering as a part of their worship. How does the idea of needing a sacrifice in order to make peace inform our understanding of the cross and what Jesus has done for us?
6. How do we as followers of Jesus today work for peace in a world where there is so much division?
7. Close by praying together that we can follow the teaching of Jesus and be peacemakers in this world following the way of Christ.
