Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, “If I’m really blessed, why does it feel like everything is falling apart?” Maybe you’re facing loss, disappointment, or just the quiet ache that things aren’t how they should be. You're in a moment when being blessed feels more like being cursed. In this message, we look at Jesus’ words in the Beatitudes, and discover that what he calls blessed is the exact opposite of what we expect. Jesus doesn’t celebrate the strong or the successful. He calls the hurting, the overlooked, and the worn out blessed. This isn’t just a new way of thinking—it’s a whole new way of seeing your life, your pain, and how close God actually is to you right now.
Matthew 5:1-12 | Chris Shandrow
