What does it really mean to be blessed? In this All Saints’ Day sermon, Pastor explores how Jesus turns the world’s idea of blessing completely upside down in the Beatitudes. “Blessed are the poor in spirit… those who mourn… the meek…”—words that sound strange to a world chasing comfort and success.

But in Christ, true blessing is found not in power or prosperity, but in faithfulness through suffering, weakness, and even death. The saints who went before us—those who stood firm in persecution and loss—show us what it means to live under the blessing of the cross.

Join us as we reflect on the hope of the resurrection, the comfort of Christ’s presence in our pain, and the eternal promise that in Him, we are truly blessed.
