Michael Hinton // When people are in conflict, they avoid, fight, and shame each other, but Jesus says, “Blessed are those who work for peace, for they will be called children of God.” This makes it clear how unique this kingdom he’s building is. Through his work on the cross, Jesus brought together different people groups that the world thought could never get along. He would have his followers do the same.

Kailey Newkirk // When Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart,” he wasn’t talking about innocence. He set up the purity of wholehearted devotion as a core value for the coming kingdom. God knows that temptations tend to rip our hearts in half, and we can’t simultaneously run toward God and something else.

Kailey Newkirk // Jesus came in the flesh. He intimately knew our temptations. He knew our tendency toward comparison, wrath, and judging and how, when we judge, we often do so with unfair scales. Ultimately, if we’re to be a merciful people, then we have to acknowledge that means we absorb a debt, but we can take heart knowing that our savior absorbed the most.

Kailey Newkirk // When Jesus says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled,” he paints a picture of a God who values and is tender toward those in desperate situations. This is excellent news for all of us who feel like we don’t have it all together! One of the core values of God’s coming kingdom is wanting to see things made right, not having it all right.

Michael Hinton // “Meek” isn’t something you hear many people say they want to be. It’s not even in our regular vocabulary. Like a bridled horse, meekness can be described as strength under control. Living in God’s love and freedom can be empowering in itself, but making meekness a core value of God’s kingdom shows just how important it is that we’re living within God’s purposes as we wield any power we’ve been given.

Michael Hinton // Mourning is never fun. It’s uncomfortable. When faced with grief, you could be tempted to bury your emotion, try to replace the loss with something else, or lean on pithy quotes like “time heals all.” But you can’t go around grief. You can only go through it. Jesus not only models the importance of mourning together but elevates mourning as a core value of God’s coming kingdom.

Michael Hinton // Some came to hear Jesus speak, thinking he was starting a revolution, but instead, he taught ideas like “God blesses those who are poor in spirit.” This was quite the changeup! The kingdom Jesus was ushering in, though, differed from any other, and one of its core values would be recognizing our need for God.

Michael Hinton // In Jesus’ most famous sermon, he gives the crowd a series of blessings, known as the Beatitudes, which serve as core values for God’s coming kingdom. Hearing them today is just as challenging as it was back then, but if Jesus was serious, then these blessings give us the road map to living lives abundant with joy and favor.

Kailey Newkirk // Bringing our story to God in vulnerability is hard. After recognizing where we went awry and returning to what made our bad choices seem reasonable, we now need to learn Acceptance, Forgiveness, Repentance, and Amends. This is all difficult, and it might not be the story you chose, but in God’s hands, it’s a story that could bring life to others.
