Join us for an in-depth exploration of Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”

In this sermon from RPM, we contrast the world's pursuit of happiness with the true fulfillment offered by Christ. Discover why chasing possessions, pleasure, success, or self-fulfillment leaves us empty, and learn how a passionate desire for righteousness is the real path to lasting joy.
