Jesus Said Week 3

Sep 15, 2024    Pastor Jason Brest

Discover the profound call to action in Matthew 5:9, 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.' This message challenges common misconceptions about peacemaking, emphasizing its proactive nature. True peacemaking involves stepping into conflict and chaos to restore peace, as exemplified by Jesus Christ. Real-life stories, such as a police officer intervening in a violent situation and addressing workplace bullying, illustrate the personal risks and proactive steps required. This calling extends to our families, communities, and churches, urging us to address conflicts head-on and work towards reconciliation. Learn practical steps to become a peacemaker, guided by Scripture, and take on the challenge to make a difference in your life and the lives of others.
