Scripting the Flip – The Beatitudes – Part 5

Josh Carstensen, Lead Pastor
October 27, 2024

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues a series on the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus makes a statement about obsession. He says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied" (Matthew 5:6). Jesus doesn't say blessed are those who have righteousness. The blessing is in the longing, in the obsession. That feels backward.

At the crux of Jesus' statement is the word righteousness. Let's find out how that will bring us satisfaction.

But first, we'll start with a testimony from two of our long-term missionary partners in Uganda and how they're seeing people hunger and thirst for righteousness.
