The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12)
January 4, 2026
In this message, “The Beatitudes” from Matthew 5:1–12, Jesus introduces the foundation of the Sermon on the Mount by describing the character of those who belong to the Kingdom of God. He presents a vision of blessing that is radically different from the world’s understanding. This passage highlights key themes of kingdom values, humility, mercy, righteousness, suffering, and spiritual transformation.
Each beatitude reveals the heart of a disciple and reflects the character of Christ. This message invites us to pursue a life shaped by God’s values and to grow into the people He is calling us to be.
