This week, we step into the opening verses of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus begins with the Beatitudes—blessings that completely redefine what it means to live a full and meaningful life. Jesus calls “blessed” those who are humble, merciful, pure in heart, and even those who face persecution for following Him.

Pastor Jesse helps remind us that true happiness doesn’t come from success or self-sufficiency, but from recognizing our need for God and relying on His grace. As we live out these truths, we reflect the character of Christ and bring hope to a world searching for peace and purpose.
