Making Peace Bible Study

Making Peace Bible Study

In a world where everyone has different opinions and values, conflict is inevitable. And anyone with kids knows that conflict is a guarantee in their house. It's impossible for us to hide from conflict in our everyday lives, so what should we do about it?

Making Peace is a 20-day Bible study designed for kids and families to teach biblical conflict resolution and understand the value and importance of being a peacemaker. Whether it's siblings bickering, petty fights between friends, or someone being unkind to your child, this study will give your kids the ability to:

  • Look at Scripture to learn how to handle conflict.
  • Let go of bitterness and anger.
  • Be shown the value and importance of being a peacemaker.
  • Pursue godly resolution and reconciliation!

My Golden Ship Audio Drama CD

My Golden Ship Audio Drama

We all know the gnawing feeling that rears its ugly head as envy. Christians are not exempt, as we see in the case of Charlie, who says, “But don't it seem hard that some folks should have everything, and the other folks nothin’?” Soon Charlie realizes that envy escalates to bitterness, and that his idea of what it's like to have everything is far from the truth.

FAQ

I study and write using the KJV and ESV Bibles. However, my studies are written with the intent that children and families will look up Scripture in the Bible of their choice, with specific attention taken to assure questions can be answered from a variety of translations. So you should be able to use whatever version your family prefers. It's my passion to see kids opening the Bible themselves, so we've been very intentional about this. 

I believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. It's 100% true, with no exceptions or figurative sections. I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin birth of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily, premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth.

This is by far the most common question we get around here. Please check out this video. I'll show you the differences between the levels and walk you through how to use them as a family!

If you are buying softcover, you should purchase one copy per child. This will enable children to write in the book, as it is designed to record their drawings and responses to the Word.

If you are buying digital, you may make as many copies for your own family as needed. It is intended for single-family use only. If you plan to share with people outside of your home (like a group, co-op, church, etc.), you will need a site license to do so. Those can be found on our digital site license page.

Each Bible study is a slightly different length, ranging from 20 lessons to 28 lessons. We suggest doing one lesson a day. Most kids find that it takes about 15 minutes a day.

Best Thing Our Family Has Done

This has been a game changer for my kids and me. Our household had become chaotic and making in kindness & love. I had gotten in a habit of yelling when I was overwhelmed and my kids were consistently fighting and having bad attitudes.
This has given us all the TOOLS that I didn’t even realize we were lacking. It’s helped us (me included) realize when I am avoiding, escaping or attacking during conflict and given us practical and biblical tools for making peace. Our home is so much more joyful and peaceful. I have realized that this change had to start with me as the parent. So so thankful for this study.

Becoming skillful at conflict resolution!!

Doing this Bible study together with my 3 olders and 3 littles, I learn/am refreshed a ton too! I am always impressed with these Bible studies and love how they are leveled appropriately to each age group. I got the PreK for my 3 littles (ages 8--special needs, 7, 5) and got myself the Primary (just one copy) to read to them for more in-depth study. I do the Parent Guide alongside my olders in the morning and we discuss together. There is always ample opportunity to practice conflict resolution/peacemaking in our household!

Blessed Are The Peacemakers

After finishing My Brother’s Keeper and Navigating Friendships, this was a great study to plug in to. I love seeing the fruit in my children after just a few days.

Practical and Helpful for the whole familly

Although we already did the Brother's Keeper study and really enjoy it, this making peace study seems to be making a bigger tangible impact. Maybe layering it on top of/after the brother's keeper is helping by boys apply these ideas more the second time. The two studies are distinct and both beautiful but I love how this one is helping the boys think through what it looks like to live like a peace maker. We say a lot now that Conflict Will Happen, but how we respond to the conflict is the key.

Handling Conflict Biblically

We learned so much from doing this Bible study as a family! We learned how God wants us to view conflict and how to handle it in a healthy and Biblical way. This Bible study even helped our teens resolve some conflict they had been having with their cousins for years! Highly recommend!
