This is the eighth and last Beatitude in our message series that touches on persecution and opposition to our faith.
Blessed Are the Peacemakers
November 20, 2022 • Guest Speaker: Isak Pretorius
Jesus was sitting with his followers and the crowd of people who came to hear from him, teaching them about the Kingdom Realm, what it is to live in the Kingdom Realm, how we activate the Kingdom Realm in our life to live heaven on earth and why we are blessed when we live in His Kingdom Realm.
How to Be Pure in Heart
November 13, 2022 • Pastor Dave Koop
In the beatitudes Jesus gives the assurance that the pure in heart shall see God. True Christianity lies in the purity of heart.
Blessed Are the Merciful
November 6, 2022 • Pastor Cheryl Koop
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy” Matt 5:7
To be merciful is revealed in action. It is actively compassionate. Treating people better than they deserve. God showed mercy in sparing us from the judgment we deserve for our sins through the saving work of Jesus Christ. We imitate God when we show mercy.
Satisfying Your Spiritual Hunger
October 30, 2022 • Pastor Dave Koop

The Power of Bold Prayers
October 23, 2022 • Pastor Carl-Gustaf Severin
From Darkness to Light
October 16, 2022 • Michael Franzese • Proverbs 3:5–6
In the midst of setbacks in life, we know that God has a plan! Rather than shrink back, we press ahead and sense God has great things in store for those who put their trust in Him.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28
The Power of Thankfulness
October 9, 2022 • Pastor Dave Koop
Thankfulness is more powerful than we might think. It is the key to wholeness in our relationships and contentment in life. More importantly, it is the key to receiving the wholeness God has promised for every area of our lives.
The Power of Meekness
October 2, 2022 • Pastor Dave Koop
In our culture today meekness may be perceived as weakness. However, meekness is not weakness, but supreme self-control empowered by the Spirit to live an overcoming life on earth.
Blessed Are Those Who Mourn
September 25, 2022 • Pastor Dave Koop
God has designed tears and mourning to release that pain we experience and to be part of a healing process. When pain is bottled up and kept inside, it can poison our spirits. For those in the kingdom God has promised that those who mourn will enjoy His comfort.
Blessed are the Poor in Spirit
September 18, 2022 • Pastor Dave Koop
Everyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ is a citizen of God’s kingdom. And in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus gives us the beatitudes, the characteristics He expects every Christian to manifest. The beatitudes are more than pithy sayings, they are radical truths that are as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago.
