In this episode of the Cedars Church Podcast, we look at Matthew 5:1-12, where Pastor Lyall Armstrong shares insights on what it truly means to be a peacemaker. In this episode, we reflect on how peace remains an elusive goal that we deeply desire for ourselves and the world, yet find so difficult to achieve—a struggle reflected even in popular culture through songs like John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance." We explore the profound promise that peacemakers will be called children of God, recognizing that to bear this title, we must reflect the very characteristics of the Son of God. Ultimately, we learn that true peace cannot exist alongside lies, calling us to actively advocate for the truth as we follow Jesus' ministry of bringing peace to the earth.
Through this message, we’re encouraged to grow in our understanding of God’s word and to live out our faith with wisdom and love.
Tune in to reflect, be inspired, and join us in our journey to build a vibrant, supportive community grounded in truth. Subscribe to stay connected with weekly sermons and teachings from Cedars Church Beirut.
