Where Is The Peace? - Mark Bubeck
This sermon explores the Beatitudes by examining the identity and responsibilities of a peacemaker in a world defined by strife and sin. The speaker argues that true peacemaking begins with personal repentance and the aggressive pursuit of reconciliation with those one has wronged, rather than mere appeasement or natural temperament. It further defines peacemaking as the active ministry of evangelism, leading others to peace with God through Christ, and intercessory prayer for global and racial unity. The central message emphasizes that only those born again can fulfill this role, resulting in their recognition as children of God. The tone is pastoral and convicting, urging listeners to examine their consciences and commit to specific acts of restoration.
