After listing The Beatitudes in Matthew 5, Jesus proceeds to call those listening to his words into being salt and light. What did these terms mean to those who first heard them, and how might we apply Jesus’ message today?

Salt and Light | The Beatitudes

Jesus’ blessing of the “persecuted for righteousness’s sake” has been used to justify harmful theology and ecclesiology for as long as we’ve been making meaning of The Beatitudes. What did it mean to be persecuted in Jesus’ context? What does it mean for us now? All are welcome to join us each Sunday at 9AM and 10:30AM CT at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville, and we stream live on YouTube at 10:30AM CT for our virtual community.

Blessed Are the Persecuted | The Beatitudes

In Matthew 5, Jesus blesses peacemakers, stating they will be called “children of God.” Our interpretation of peace is often incomplete, missing some of the important context Jesus’ audience would have had. What is a peacemaker? How do we define peace? What does it meant to be called children of God?

Blessed Are the Peacemakers | The Beatitudes

When we hear Jesus’s blessing of the “pure in heart”, it can be easy to read our own context(s) into a Beatitude with broader implications.

Blessed Are the Pure in Heart | The Beatitudes

“Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.” Jesus’s affirmation of mercy speaks to more than just a way of thinking—it’s an embodied way of being. What does it mean to be merciful, and what is the promise being made in this Beatitude?

Blessed Are the Merciful | The Beatitudes

Jesus pronounced a blessing on all who “hunger and thirst for righteousness.” Through the lens of a Christianity where sinless-ness is equated with righteousness, it can be easy to lose sight of the radical call to justice reflected in this Beatitude. How do we make sense of it in context? All are welcome to join us each Sunday at 9AM and 10:30AM CT at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville, and we stream live on YouTube at 10:30AM CT for our virtual community.

Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness | The Beatitudes

“Blessed are the meek.” We inhabit a world skeptical of meekness, one that equates gentleness and humility with weakness.
