Closing message in our series recentering on the Beatitudes. This week, we sit with the question: What is persecution in our actual context?The Kingdom of Heaven is not fragile.The kingdom of God will not be defeated.The kingdom is still open to all.“There's trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests—look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular." Luke 6:26 (the Message)

When God speaks of separating from the world, he doesn't mean removing ourselves from it. The separation he desires takes place in the heart.Subscribe to daily devotions e-mails: https://wcmin.us/ddsub

“And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume...”Mary took the most precious thing she possessed and spent it all on Jesus. Love is not love if it nicely calculates the cost.  It gives its all, and its only regret is that it has not still more to give.

In the final week of Kingdom Values, we look at what it truly means to build our lives on a solid foundation. Jesus challenges us to move beyond surface-level faith—calling us to examine our hearts, live with integrity, and follow Him with obedience. From confronting hypocrisy to trusting God through prayer, choosing the narrow path, and bearing good fruit, this message reminds us that it’s not just about hearing the truth—it’s about living it. When the storms come, what your life is built on matters most.

This week in our Kingdom Values series, we explore what it means to develop the mind of Christ instead of following the patterns of the world. In Matthew 5:20–48, Jesus teaches that true righteousness isn’t just about outward behavior, but a transformed heart that reflects God’s love, mercy, purity, and truth. From anger and forgiveness to integrity and loving our enemies, Jesus calls His followers to a deeper way of thinking and living. As we grow in the mind of Christ, we begin to reflect the character of God in every area of our lives.

It's the most demanding of all the Beatitudes, because there is no hiding.“Rules for Self-Discovery:1. What we want most;2. What we think about most;3. How we use our money;4. What we do with our leisure time;5. The company we enjoy;6. Who and what we admire;7. What we laugh at.A. W. Tozer

Matthew 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.” Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

"No one is just one thing, even the worst of us.  That doesn't excuse anyone's behavior, but it does complicate a narrative we might otherwise want to make very simple.”                                                                        MikeCosper, Land of my Sojourn

Jesus' words, "Blessed are the meek," are a counter voice to the growing number of angry alpha pseudo-religious. They are an invitation... They are a challenge... They are healing...“We may say as a general rule for life that it is never right to be angry for any insult or injury done to ourselves – that is something that no Christian must ever resent – but that it is often right to be angry at injuries done to other people.  Selfish anger is always a sin; selfless anger can be one of the great moral dynamics of the world.” William Barclay

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4"Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break,"  Shakespeare, Macbeth

As a follower of Christ, what is our place in this moment? The way of the Kingdom of God is a different path.“Blessed are the poor. Blessed are you who are conscious of your lack of merit and readily open yourselves to the divine mercy.”
 Brennan Manning, The Importance of Being Foolish

Before Jesus ever began his sermon, the disciples first came to him. Are we willing to come to Jesus... even when that means God is going to disrupt our lives?
