Sermon 7: Matthew 5:1-12
Philip reads Matthew 5:1-12, reflecting on growing up and diving into Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. He unpacks the Beatitudes, explaining "blessed" from the Greek "makarios" and emphasizes righteousness, mercy, purity, and peacemaking. Listeners are invited to trust Jesus, with a prayer for salvation and a call to action.
