Scripting the Flip – The Beatitudes – Part 4

Josh Carstensen, Lead Pastor
October 20, 2024

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues a series on the Sermon on the Mount.

Power, strength, dominance - this is how we expect a king to rule. But Jesus flips the script when he says, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."

In a world ruled by force, Jesus points us to gentleness and humility as the true path to victory because we already know the ultimate outcome. Let's explore how meekness - far from weakness - is the way to real strength, freedom, and peace.
