How to Make Peace with a Brother (22 of 31)
Series: Foundations for Life

Genesis 32-33

So why do we are among ourselves? Because we're at war within ourselves. People war and have conflict among themselves because people are at war and have turmoil within themselves! That's why you can't be at peace with anybody else because you're not a peace with yourself!
