Jesus proclaims over all his people that we are “Blessed”.

In this message from our series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Jordan Boyce teaches us how God’s condition for blessing is that we receive the characteristics of Jesus Christ.

May that be personified in you, that God will work through you, His kingdom will be shown all around you, and that God may get all the glory.
