The Blessed Life: Beatitudes (2 of 2)

Who does God bless? Last week, Pastor Greg started unpacking The Beatitudes, which is a core element of The Sermon on the Mount, which in turn is the longest recorded message of Jesus Christ Himself.

Jesus, addressing the people, begins explaining the heart of God: “Blessed are the poor in spirit… those who mourn… the meek… those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…” And in all of our posturing and postulating, humans tend to overthink and overanalyze every word and phrase. Let’s step back together. What did Jesus mean when He said those things? Pastor Greg dives into that today.
