Licence to Mourn (Matthew 5:4) | The Gospel of Matthew

In “Licence to Mourn”, Pastor J.B. unpacks Matthew 5:4 from Jesus’ Beatitudes. Learn why "Blessed are those who mourn" isn't about universal comfort for everyone who's ever been sad, but it’s about something deeper. Discover the specific types of mourning Jesus is talking about, why following Jesus sometimes means experiencing sadness you didn't have before, and how to find comfort in the midst of every kind of pain.  If you've been denying your pain or drowning it in distraction, lean in. What if mourning is something you're actually allowed—even meant—to do?-Next Steps 💪• Are you NEW to Thrive? We've prepared a gift for you to thank you for spending your Sunday with us.
