Tracy's sermon explores the concept of peacemaking versus peacekeeping, emphasizing the difference between the two. She explains that peacekeeping is about maintaining smoothness, avoiding conflict, and residing in fear, leading to a sterile environment. In contrast, peacemaking involves facing reality, even if it's messy and uncomfortable, and it starts with self-reflection. Tracy encourages embracing the messiness of life and looking inward to initiate change and move towards true peace. She stresses that peacemaking is not an easy, half-hearted exercise but a life-changing, full-participation journey. This journey starts with recognizing one's limitations and shortcomings, seeking God's guidance, and embracing the Beatitudes' teachings. The process of peacemaking involves self-confrontation and admitting that real peace begins with Jesus, the Prince of Peace. By turning to Him, one can find a home in God's love rather than fear, leading to a more fulfilling and authentic life.
