Blessed | Blessed are the hungry

Join us as we continue our series, Blessed: The Good Life According to Jesus - a journey through the Beatitudes and Jesus' surprising vision for a flourishing life in God's kingdom.

 

This week, Ladaea Rylander will preach from Matthew 5:6, where Jesus says: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness." In a world craving success, comfort, and curated self-expression, Jesus flips the script: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. This message explores the ache at the center of the Christian life—the longing for things to be made right with God and with others. We look at how hunger goes wrong —through apathy, self-reliance, and complaint—and how Jesus invites us not to try harder but to desire more deeply: to contend in prayer, feast on the word, pursue justice, and long for His presence above all else. This is an invitation into deeper desire and the promise that God will satisfy.
