Blessed are the Hungry

Blessed are the Hungry

Living God’s way is no guarantee to an easy life but Jesus does say that those who pursue righteousness will be satisfied—or filled—in this life and in the one to come. What does it look like to hunger and thirst for righteousness?

Blessed are the Poor in Spirit

Blessed are the Poor in Spirit

The Lamb of God

The Lamb of God

The Suffering Servant

The Suffering Servant
