Blessed Are Those Who Are Persecuted (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake." Wait—who wants to be persecuted? The eighth and final Beatitude seems like a strange way to draw the Sermon on the Mount to an end and still describe a flourishing life. Yet Jesus doesn’t promise that following and reflecting Him will always make life easier. He promises something deeper. Join us as we explore how following Jesus can bring us into conflict with the kingdoms of this world—and yet how we can still flourish within His
Blessed are the Peacemakers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it actually mean to be a peacemaker? In this message, we're digging into Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God," and discovering that the peace Jesus is talking about is bigger, deeper, and far more demanding than a quiet moment or a peaceful feeling. It's shalom , the Hebrew word for wholeness in every direction: with God, with each other, with the world itself. We'll look at how Jesus doesn't just bring this peace, He is this peace, and wh
Blessed are the Pure in Heart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The heart is mentioned over 1,000 times in the Bible! Have we ever stopped to really think about what the Bible —what God — means when He mentions the heart? In today’s message, we’ll explore what the Bible means by the heart and what it means for followers of Jesus to have a pure heart , as we continue our sermon series through the Beatitudes.
Blessed Are Those Who Mourn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this message, we come to one of the most challenging, and curious, sayings of Jesus: “Blessed are those who mourn.” On the surface it sounds backwards. How can Jesus call mourning a sign of flourishing, especially when it feels like the exact opposite? Grief and loss are things we normally try to escape, not embrace. Join us as Ben explores how mourning can actually be evidence that the Gospel is breaking through, and why Jesus sees blessing in a place we’d least expect it.
Blessed are the Merciful (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today, we come to a Beatitude that sounds like the easiest one to accept: "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." Of course a merciful God calls us to be merciful, right? But sit with it a little longer and it gets uncomfortable fast. Does Jesus mean we earn mercy by giving it? And what happens if we withhold it from someone who has wronged us? Join us as we discover that mercy isn't just a virtue we practice, it's the shape of the kingdom breaking into our lives, and into ours
