Drawing in the Sand

Cara Pfeiffer uses the story of the woman caught in adultery, John 8:1-11, to share the practical peacemaking steps Jesus took in that encounter to deescalate the situation and to protect a vulnerable woman.

Questions for thought:

  1. What everyday conflicts in your life could be deescalated with practices of pause and non-threatening body language? 
  2. What are some practical steps you could take in your own life to have a more peaceful coexistence with difficult people in your life? 

Listen to the sermon and discussion below. (Audio is a bit uneven given the set-up for group exercise.)
