In his sermon, Noah discusses the importance of being a peacemaker as highlighted in the seventh Beatitude from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing that true peace requires effort and can often be messy. He draws parallels between conflict resolution and cleaning, asserting that while the process may seem daunting, the satisfaction of achieving peace is worth it.
Noah underscores the distinction between peacemakers and peacekeepers, noting that genuine peacemaking involves confronting and resolving conflicts rather than avoiding them. Ultimately, he encourages listeners to embrace their role as peacemakers, reflecting the character of God and to prioritize relationships over being right, reminding them that the journey of reconciliation is an ongoing process.
