What does it really mean to be a peacemaker?
In this sermon from our Grounded series, Pastor Jeremy Duncan unpacks Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
We’ll explore:
• The difference between peacekeeping (avoiding conflict) and peacemaking (creating transformation)
• How Jesus’ teaching on turning the other cheek, giving your cloak, and walking the extra mile reveal a radical third way of nonviolent resistance
• Why following Jesus invites us to courage, honesty, and reconciliation in our relationships, our communities, and our world
📖 Scripture: Matthew 5:9, 38–45
