The Gospel of Matthew: "Beatitudes | Part 1"
Feb 1, 2026 • Pastor Brian Hancock
What does it really mean to be blessed?
In this message, we explore how Jesus redefines blessing—not as comfort, success, or something we earn, but as the assurance of a life lived under God’s rule. The Beatitudes are not commands to achieve blessing; they describe the kind of life that naturally flows when King Jesus reigns in our hearts.
Through The Gospel of Matthew and First Epistle of John 4:13–16, we see that true blessing is rooted in identity, love, and abiding relationship with God—not circumstances.
* Blessed isn’t a reward you chase.
* It’s the assurance of a life aligned with Christ.
Watch and reflect: Who rules your heart—and what kind of life is emerging?
