In a world full of conflict, Jesus calls us to something radically different: to be peacemakers. This week, we unpack what Biblical peacemaking really looks like, how it goes beyond conflict avoidance, and how it reflects the very character of God who made peace with us through His son Jesus Christ.

Jesus tells his listeners that people with pure hearts will be... blessed. Or happy. Which is what most people are looking for. So the question we have to ask is, "How, then, do we get pure hearts?"

God the Father shows Jesus-followers mercy, both now and forever, and it's from a place of having received mercy that Jesus-followers cannot help themselves but show mercy to others.

Jesus teaches us that those who hunger and thirst for right relationships will live the blessed life in his upside-down kingdom. Our desire for rightness in our relationships with God and each other honors him and moves us to take action to bring restoration into many different spaces in our life.

Jesus adds another one to his "string of blessings" we call the Beatitudes, and this one isn't any less confusing than the first two. Jesus, instead of advocating for aggression and a go-getter attitude, he tells his followers that meekness is one of the keys to a blessed life.

If Jesus didn't confuse them with the first Beatitude about being the happiness found in being poor in spirit, he really catches them off guard by telling them happiness is found in mourning! What does Jesus mean here? And what are we supposed to mourn about? Listen to find out more.

Jesus opens up the most famous sermon of all time with a beautiful poem about happiness, which is the number one thing most people in the world are looking for. Have you found happiness? Have you heard where Jesus says it can be found?

Sometimes, the story of Jesus, who He was, what He did, and what it means can be confusing. In this message, the good news of Jesus is plainly shared and an invitation is made to become a follower of Jesus.

Jesus, at the end of his life, demonstrates complete trust in the Father. He puts it all in His hands. How are we to respond to this act of complete trust?
