In this message from our series The Greatest Sermon Ever Preached, we begin exploring the Beatitudes—the opening words of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Jesus doesn’t start with what we do… He starts with who we are. In a world that celebrates strength, success, and self-sufficiency, Jesus describes a people who are poor in spirit, who mourn, who are meek, and who hunger and thirst for righteousness. These are not weaknesses—they are marks of a life transformed by God’s grace.
BIG IDEA: Christians are supposed to be known for who we are. We are the people of God, who reflect the character of God.
