Fidelity and honesty, these are the virtues that Jesus addresses next in his famous Sermon on the Mount.

Join us this Sunday and together we’ll seek to learn from Christ in Matthew 5:31-37.

Beatitudes: Blessed are the Poor in Spirit

July 4, 2021 • Rev. Adam Feichtmann

O Happy You! This Sunday we’ll begin a 4-week summer sermon series through the first four Beatitudes, found in Matthew 5, the beginning of Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes are powerful because before Jesus gives commands to his disciples, he begins by blessing them. His words communicate truth and words of congratulation (each begins with “Blessed are…” which can also be translated “O Happy You”). In preparation for Sunday and the month of July, take a few minutes to read Matthew 5:1-12. As you do, reflect on how Jesus’ Beatitudes are not primarily commands, but blessings. I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday! Pastor Adam

Beatitudes: Blessed are those who Mourn

July 11, 2021 • Rev. Adam Feichtmann

“Blessed are those who mourn.” Happy are the unhappy. Blessings on those whose eyes are full of tears. Do you think those statements sound bizarre? If so, you are not alone. Most people would assume the opposite are true… Blessed are those who smile. Happy are the happy. Blessings on those whose eyes are dry. Yet, in his second Beatitude Jesus is turning our understanding of the blessed life upside down. Join us on Sunday as we continue our sermon series through Jesus’ Beatitudes, learning together why Jesus blesses those who mourn. I look forward to worshiping with you! Pastor Adam

Beatitudes: Blessed are the Meek

July 18, 2021 • Rev. Adam Feichtmann

Meekness. Moses was meek, Jesus is meek, and Jesus describes meekness as an required characteristic for Christians. It is not strange that we are supposed to be like Jesus, but meekness has always confused Christians. This Sunday we’ll look together at Jesus’ third Beatitude from Matthew 5:5, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” In preparation of this sermon, read some of the following scripture passages and reflect on the portrait of meekness that they paint: Numbers 12:1-9, Psalm 37, Matthew 11:25-30, and Matthew 21:1-5. I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday! Pastor Adam
