Pastor Ben begins the “Formed” series as he explores the Beatitudes from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. This Lenten series will focus on our character as Christ followers. Ben emphasizes that these teachings aren’t a checklist for salvation but evidence of transformation through Christ. In a world lacking integrity, Christians have an opportunity to demonstrate Jesus-centered character. The sermon features insights on each Beatitude, from embracing our need for God to pursuing peace and justice. Ben encourages listeners to identify which Beatitude resonates with them and live it out, including a testimony from church member Glenn about his personal connection to these teachings.
