In Pursuit of Peace - Pastor Stevan
In a world that often celebrates division and embraces an "I'll get ahead" mentality, Jesus calls his followers to be peacemakers. In this sermon, Pastor Stevan explores Jesus' teaching in the Beatitudes about being blessed as peacemakers and children of God. He contrasts the world's way of seeking revenge and getting even with Jesus' radical path of humility, mercy, purity of heart, and reconciliation. The message unfolds the upside-down, countercultural nature of Christ's call to make peace rather than sow division. Ultimately, believers are urged to firmly hold to the Word of Life and model Jesus, the true Peacemaker, in a broken and divisive culture by courageously pursuing wholeness, completeness and reconciliation through lives of humble service.
