In "Seek Peace and Pursue It," the sermon examines Matthew 26:47-53, highlighting Jesus's response during his betrayal. When Peter draws his sword, Jesus commands him to "Put your sword back into its place," demonstrating non-violent conflict resolution and trusting God's plan over fear-driven human action. The sermon reveals that choosing worldly biases or fear over Jesus's mission to bring peace is a betrayal, much like Judas's. Jesus's actions in Gethsemane teach us to put down the "sword" and embrace the peace gained through Jesus's work on the cross.
