Blessed Are the Weak?

Jun 21, 2026  •  Bill Berger

Referencing: Matthew 5


We live in a culture obsessed with power.


Be strong, and successful. Defeat your opponents.

Then Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount and says:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit."

"Blessed are those who mourn."

"Blessed are the meek."


What if the people Jesus calls blessed are the very people our culture overlooks?


What if the Kingdom of God operates by an entirely different set of values than the kingdoms of this world?


This week we're exploring Jesus' Kingdom Manifesto and discovering why humility, repentance, mercy, and peacemaking are not signs of weakness—they are signs of spiritual maturity.


In a world captivated by power, Jesus invites us to a different way. A place for all who believe, doubt, and seek.
