January 12, 2025 - The Way of the Good Life - Dr. Nathan Millican

Pastor Nate’s message on Matthew 5:6-7 emphasizes the Beatitudes as foundational to living out The Way of the Kingdom, contrasting worldly happiness with the blessedness found in Christ. He highlights that true righteousness is a gift from Jesus, transforming our desires and calling us to actively pursue spiritual disciplines like prayer, Scripture, and worship while avoiding distractions that dull our hunger for God. On mercy, he challenges believers to respond to wrongs with compassion and forgiveness, reflecting the mercy we’ve received from Christ. The message calls for self-examination, urging listeners to evaluate their spiritual appetite and their willingness to extend mercy, reminding us that the way of the kingdom is a life devoted to Christ, marked by humility, forgiveness, and a deep desire for God’s ways.
