Sunday Preview (October 16, 2022)
Matthew 5:6 | What does it mean to ‘hunger and thirst for righteousness’? The word ‘righteousness’ can be such a divisive word for people. It’s often been used to shame or harm people – there are the sinners and the saints, the haves and have nots, the righteous and the unrighteous. It’s a word that has often divided people. But what if Jesus is trying to say something else in this passage? What if that word means more than we think?!
