“Blessed Are The Peacemakers” Matthew 5:9 Dr. Mathew P. John, Senior Pastor with Jarret Keith, Testimony Ministries About our Series: The Sermon on the Mount is considered the encapsulation of Jesus’s teachings and the manifesto of His Kingdom. It begins with eight pronouncements of blessings known as “Beatitudes.” In this eight-part series, we will examine the challenges issued by each beatitude and the blessings promised by them. For more details please visit https://www.lakeave.org/sermons/serie... Small Group Questions • What are the three kinds of peace we observe in the Bible? • Why do you think Jesus ends the Beatitudes with “peace-making”? • What does it mean to be “sons of God,” (or children of God)? Why does Jesus connect peace-making to being a child of God? • How is the peace Jesus offers different from that of the world? • How do we become peacemakers instead of peace lovers? • How can you promote peace in your home? At your work? At our church? In this nation?
