In this sermon, Pastor Clint opens up Luke 6:12–26. Jesus forms a new kind of community by calling twelve disciples from among his followers, signaling the beginning of a renewed people shaped by his presence and mission. He then redefines what it means to be blessed, declaring the poor, hungry, weeping, and hated as truly flourishing in God’s kingdom. Finally, he delivers sharp warnings to the rich and self-satisfied, exposing how worldly success can blind the heart to eternal need.
