But Servants

Are You Blessed? (Luke 6:17-26)

Listen Later

Are you blessed? Are you prospering? Are you living the good life? The search for blessing is a universal phenomena. For most of us - that means financial security, emotional joy, social inclusion. In Luke 6:17-26, Jesus teaches us what it looks like to be truly happy, but in a real shock, he tells us it's the inverse of what our culture thinks.
