KINGDOM Transformation begins at the HEART

This week's sermon, "Transformation begins at the heart," explored the first four Beatitudes from Matthew 5:1-6. Pastor Wade emphasized that Kingdom transformation starts with our hearts, not our actions. He unpacked how Jesus' teachings on being poor in spirit, mourning, meekness, and hungering for righteousness form the foundation of the Gospel message and shape our character as Kingdom people.

Takeaways:

Recognize your spiritual bankruptcy: We must acknowledge our need for Christ before we can experience true salvation and transformation.

Embrace humility: Without humility, we cannot come to Jesus or experience the heart transformation that the Kingdom offers.

Cultivate a hunger for righteousness: As new creations in Christ, our appetites should change, leading us to pursue God's righteousness rather than worldly desires.
