A Revolution of the Good Life

A Revolution of the Good Life // Sermon on the Mount // Matthew 5:1-12 John Hau Download In this sermon, we continue our introduction to the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew, centering on the Beatitudes, which challenges our deeply held assumptions about “the good life” and who we consider truly blessed. Jesus reframes flourishing away from power, comfort, and status, and toward humility, mercy, peacemaking, and dependence on God. What emerges is an invitation to repentance—not as guilt or shame, but as a reorientation of our imagination—turning from the stories our culture tells about success and happiness, and learning to see life, blessing, and human flourishing through the revolutionary vision of Jesus.
