Peacemakers & Persecuted

SPEAKER: Sarah Knepper

PASSAGE: Matthew 5:9-12; Ephesians 2:14-18

Peacemaking is not about avoiding conflict—it’s about stepping into it to bring harmony. In the final week of our “Blessed” series, Sarah Knepper unpacks Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:9-12, showing how He modeled a different way than the political, religious, and cultural strategies of His time. Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount, Ephesians 2, and vivid real-life examples, Sarah challenges us to listen well, embrace differences, and bear the costly but beautiful work of reconciliation. Discover why peacemakers reflect the very heart of God—and why they will be called His children.
