Pastor Zach explores Matthew 5:5-7, highlighting the blessings of meekness, righteousness, and mercy in the Kingdom of Heaven. Using a personal story about an Ironman race, he illustrates how God’s ways often defy worldly expectations. Pastor Zach challenges us with the idea that Christ-like meekness is not weakness at all, but Christ-like meekness is power under control. True meekness trusts in God’s plan, while a deep hunger and thirst for righteousness transforms us into people who defend the vulnerable and confront sin. This message invites us to reflect on our God-given strengths, ask God what He loves most about how He created us, and seek ways to use our gifts for His kingdom.
