One of the things that this world lacks most is Mercy. God says that people who have experienced God's mercy through Christ will be the ones who grow in showing mercy to others. The battle against bitterness, and the battle to forgive others who have wronged us is a hard one fought. But Jesus says that it is a battle that true Christians will engage in, and grow in. Learn how mercy shows up in our life.

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?
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.
