Blessed Are the Peacemakers — A Sermon

April 8, 2022 by Gary Neal Hansen Leave a Comment

blessed are the peacemakers
Peaceable Kingdom of the Branch, Edward Hicks (public domain)

This week I preached on one of the Beatitudes: Blessed are the Peacemakers. I thought I’d share it with you.

If you’ve come here looking for my children’s sermons these last two weeks, I’m sorry to say they were not to be found. It’s a very complicated season in my life, one of the larger reasons being that I’ve started a half-time pastoral position. None of the previous responsibilities actually disappeared, so some weeks a thing or two doesn’t get done.

So, without further ado, I hope you’ll check out this video of our Wednesday evening Lenten Vespers service at Shadyside Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh.

There’s a lovely cello trio playing the prelude (at 2:25), as well as other parts of the service. So you may want to enjoy the whole thing.

But if you want to hear just the sermon, I stumble up to the pulpit at 24:59.
