Sermon On The Mount, Part 1: Christian Character // Simon Gill

What does it actually mean to be “blessed”? Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount with a list that flips our idea of the good life upside down. In Matthew 5:1–12, Jesus describes the character of people who belong to his kingdom: poor in spirit, grieving sin, meek, hungry for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, and faithful when it costs. This is not a checklist to earn God’s approval. It’s a portrait of what life looks like when you live from God’s grace, and when your love for God begins to overflow into how you treat people. In this message, we explore why the Beatitudes are so countercultural, why integrity and reconciliation matter, and how the “now and not yet” kingdom helps us refuse cheap compromises. Which Beatitude do you find most challenging right now, and why?
