Blessed are the Peacemakers Sermon outline<\/strong> by Tom Moore on the meaning and particulars of being a peacemaker. From Matthew 5:9.<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION: Read Matthew 5:9. [Beginning of this blessed are the peacemakers sermon outline]<\/p>\n

A. Our study of the Sermon on the Mount has focused so far upon the beatitudes<\/p>\n

1. The beatitudes serve as an introduction to the Sermon on the Mount – it is a basic primer on the content to follow<\/p>\n

2. The beatitudes are also a description of basic characteristics that the man or woman of God must possess to have a saving faith<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

a. Remember Hebrews 11:6<\/p>\n

b. But remember also Matthew 7:21<\/p>\n

c. James 2:24<\/p>\n

3. The beatitudes are very much a primer on faith. The beatitudes teach us:<\/p>\n

C. Remember that the beatitudes build on one another<\/p>\n

C. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS – THE ULTIMATE WORK OF GOD IN THE WORLD<\/h2>\n

1. Perhaps one of the reasons that making peace is a characteristic of mature faith is that peace is the ultimate work of God<\/p>\n
