What does it really mean to be a peacemaker? In this sermon from our Grounded series, Pastor Jeremy Duncan unpacks Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” We’ll explore: • The difference between peacekeeping (avoiding conflict) and peacemaking (creating transformation) • How Jesus’ teaching on turning the other cheek, giving your cloak, and walking the extra mile reveal a radical third way of nonviolent resistance • Why following Jesus invites us to courage, honesty, and reconciliation in our relationships, our communities, and our world 📖 Scripture: Matthew 5:9, 38–45 🎧 Listen on our podcast: commons.church/podcast 🌐 Find resources (sermon notes, liturgy, prayers): commons.church/sundays If you’ve wrestled with conflict—in marriage, friendships, politics, or global issues—this message will challenge and encourage you to imagine a world more like heaven. 👉 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more teaching and conversation from Commons Church. ★ Support this podcast ★
