Sermon on the Mount Week 7

•         What Does It Mean to be a Peacemaker?
•         Peacemaker Means Reconciler
•         The Presence of Righteousness Which Permits Right Relationships
•         How Will We Know When We are Peacemakers?
•         The Peacemaker is the Christian Who Shares His Faith (Rom 10:15)
•         The Peacemaker Maintains Peace (Prv 15:1)
•         Peacemakers Must Maintain Personal Peace
•         Peacemaking Extends Beyond Maintaining to Restoration (Matt. 5:23-24)
•         Peacemakers Never Seek Peace At the Expense of Purity (Ps 85-10)
•         Peacemakers are Content to Bear Complaints From Both Sides
•         Peacemakers Exercise Self-Control
•         Peacemakers Exhibit Tireless Patience
•         What is the Result of Being a Peacemaker?
•         For they shall be called the children of God
•         Children (tekna) Should Read Sons (huios)
•         Sons Means Partaker of the Character
•         We Reflect the Character of Our Heavenly Father
•         Called Means Recognized
•         The Beatitudes Are A Portrait of the Believer
•         All The Characteristics of the Beatitude Believer Are Intolerable to An Evil World
•         To the Degree We Fulfill the First 7 Beatitudes, We Will Experience the 8th
•         They which are persecuted-Have Been Persecuted
•         Persecuted-To Pursue With Diligence in Order to Obtain
•         What Kind of Persecution?
•         Not Due to Our Own Disobedience
•         Not Because We Are Objectionable
•         Not Because We Are Intolerant of Non-Critical or Non-Definitive Christian Views
•         The Blessing is Restricted to Suffering for Righteousness Sake
•         Repeated Blessing
•         Theirs is the kingdom of heaven-Emphasis
•         Expanded Description of Persecuted
•         Blessed are ye-Disciples Addressed Directly
•         Believers Continue in the Succession of the Prophets
•         Purpose of Following in the Footsteps of the Prophets: Glorify Our Father in Heaven
•         Persecution May Not Be to the Extent Suffered by the Martyrs
•         Shall Revile-Means to Cast in One’s Teeth
•         All manner of evil against you falsely-Every Wicked and Malicious Lying Word
•         For my sake-Enemies of Christ Are Enemies of His Sons (Rom 8:36)
•         Godly Living Provokes Ungodly Men to Be Resentful
•         Probably the Reason Christianity is Tolerable in the World is Due to Compromise
