Living the Life of Blessing: To Bless

We were delighted for the Reverend Jonathan Mole to join us on Sunday to start our new series looking at the Beatitudes. He spoke on how we can be people that pray blessing over people and places, teaching a practical framework of blessing that releases the blessing of the Father here on earth.

His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them. He said: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
