Beautiful Attitudes | Blessed Are the Peacemakers - Season 4, Episode 127

Our world claims to value peace while simultaneously waging wars, nursing grudges, and prioritizing personal comfort over reconciliation. But what does it truly mean to be a peacemaker? Pastor Ben argues that peacemakers are those who stop evaluating everything through the lens of self-interest and instead actively pursue reconciliation with God and others, following Christ's sacrificial example. Drawing from Matthew 5:9-12, he illuminates how genuine peacemaking differs fundamentally from passive people-pleasing, and how the Christian's willingness to face persecution for righteousness demonstrates authentic commitment to peace. You are challenged to examine your relationships and ask whether you are truly making peace or merely avoiding conflict for your own comfort.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
