Episode Details

Following the crowd often leads to a destruction path. Matthew 5 reveals that Jesus' kingdom is a radical departure from the world's definition of success. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller reveals how our spiritual desperation can lead us to the presence and power of God. Jesus can turn our brokenness into a homing beacon for grace.

This is part three of the sermon, "The Blessed Ones (Part 2)."
