The Beatitudes - Sermon On The Mount Series (Andrew East)

This week, Andrew's message, "The Surprise Blessings of Jesus," introduces the Beatitudes as Jesus's vision for a "good different" life within the Kingdom of God. He explains how these blessings are found in unexpected places, leading listeners through four movements: breaking down (relying on God in difficulty), building up (cultivating godly character), counting the cost (persevering despite opposition), and sending out (being salt and light). Ultimately, the message is a call to embrace this transformative life by saying "yes" to Jesus.
