In the inaugural sermon of our three-week series, we navigate the biblical directive to be peacemakers amidst the ongoing discord between Israel and Palestine. Through scripture and real-world narratives, we examine the essence of peace, our identity as peacemakers, and the imperative to engage with global adversities. As we journey towards Thanksgiving, this sermon lays the groundwork for a transformative exploration of hope, divine assurance, and a communal commitment to global peace and justice.
