With only a few weeks left in our series on the beatitudes look at "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called Sons of God." This term peacemakers is a term only used here in the beatitudes in the whole of the bible and Jesus gave great weight to what it really meant.

Heather and Katie tag team the sixth beatitude, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." We look at the importance God puts on us not being outwardly good but inwardly pure.
