Before peace comes chaos (Matthew 5:9)
Stepping out to fight for peace is so bold and sometimes so difficult that it must take supernatural strength to achieve it. And yet, Jesus says these people are blessed.

A New Beginning (Matthew 5:7)
Blessed are the merciful because they get it. They’ve seen the wonder of the gospel, and they actually live it out. Therefore, they will receive mercy.

Just One 'Yes' (Matthew 5:4)
Even though there’s not a tangible loss, I would say that I am mourning. I was hopeful coming into this week that there’d be exuberant joy after what has already felt like so much waiting.

'The Body Keeps the Score' (Matthew 5:3)
When Jesus says that the ‘poor in spirit’ are blessed, I can’t help but receive the message that the kingdom of heaven belongs to me too.

Nothing to say... (Matthew 5:1-2)
I had nothing to say, but God had something for me: sit and listen to Jesus’ teachings so that you can be a light in a dark place.
