Joy in God's Kingdom
Join Pastor Brad as he opens Matthew 5:1–6 and invites us into the opening words of Jesus’ most well-known teaching. As Jesus sits down with His disciples, He describes a kind of blessing that looks very different from what the world expects — a joy rooted not in circumstances, but in a surrendered heart.
In this message, we’ll explore what it means to be poor in spirit, to mourn, to live with meekness, and to hunger and thirst for righteousness. Jesus shows us that true joy is found when we become less focused on ourselves and more dependent on Him.
Whether you’re early in your faith or have followed Jesus for years, this message will encourage you to reflect on where your heart is being formed and where true joy is found.

JESUS SAYS
In this series, we’re walking through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount — a teaching that shapes how followers of Jesus live, think, and grow, no matter what is happening around them.
Jesus doesn’t just address outward behavior; He speaks to the heart. Throughout this series, we’ll discover how a maturing Christ follower learns to trust God more deeply, love others more faithfully, and live with purpose and peace in everyday life.
This study invites us to listen closely to Jesus’ words and allow them to transform us from the inside out.
