Hunger & Thirst for Righteousness

Cravings & True Satisfcation

June 11, 2023 • Michael Graham • Matthew 5:6

Every human heart on earth lives daily being driven by cravings and desires of every kind. Cravings can propel you forward in life to reach "goals," make changes, and do good things. But in every heart their are deeper darker cravings that always try to lead us astray, away from God and our purpose, and into chaos leading to destruction. In Matthew 5:6 Jesus says "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." Jesus will unfold to us what new hearts, saved by grace truly begin to crave. But how can we grow in this? Listen and find out.

Blessed Are The Persecuted

July 16, 2023 • Michael Graham • Matthew 5:1–12

Persecution is something that Christians in America have rarely experienced. It's not something we are accustomed to. But Jesus says that his people will live in a way that beckons persecution from a culture that stands against the things that God loves. What do we do when we are persecuted for our faith, whether in big ways or even small ones?

Blessed Are The Peacemakers

July 9, 2023 • Michael Graham • Matthew 5:9

Blessed are those who "make peace." This is what Jesus says. But what does this mean? What does it look like? And how does it show the heart of Christ in our life and relationships? Listen in to find out.

The Poor in Spirit

May 21, 2023 • Michael Graham • Matthew 5:1–3

The world looks for people who are strong, gifted, powerful, and wealthy – seeing them as the ones who are "blessed." Jesus turns the world upsidown when he destroys this way of thinking and says that in His eternal Kingdom, it is those who are "Poor in Spirit" who are blessed. What does it mean to be 'poor in spirit'? Listen to be encouraged.
