  • Blessed Are the Peacemakers | Josh Lester
    Nov 2 2024

    The pursuit of peace in the world often resembles a threat of war as a means to preserve that peace. However, the Prince of Peace offers something very different—a covenant that requires you to engage with Him in order to carry that peace with you wherever you go. This involves fostering unity, practicing forgiveness, and letting go of grudges. It also means remaining calm amidst the storms of life. This week at Zion, Pastor Josh Lester exemplifies what it means to be a peacemaker. Tune in to this episode for more. . .

  • Blessed Are Those Who Hunger And Thirst For Righteousness | Josh Lester
    Oct 16 2024

    This week at Zion, Pastor Josh Lester continues our series on the Beatitudes. Jesus' introduction to the Sermon on the Mount is a guide for us to understand how to live a blessed life. In this episode, Pastor Josh digs deep into Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." As Christians, we must ask ourselves if we are continually being filled, or if we are lacking something deep inside of us. The reality of Christ is that once you are exposed to the truth of God, you will hunger for more, maybe even enough to change your city. Tune into this episode for more. . .

  • Blessed Are the Poor In Spirit | Brandon Block
    Sep 9 2024

    The Sermon on the Mount is the sermon where Jesus establishes the culture of the kingdom. The culture of his kingdom, coming to earth, is counter-culture to the world's. In the first of the beatitudes, Jesus establishes a precedent: "Blessed are the poor in spirit." While many in the world would say, "The poor are more blessed," Jesus isn't talking about those in poverty. He goes a step further and acknowledges the importance of spiritual bankruptcy. For us to exist in God's kingdom, we have to understand that it is a dimension beyond the one we live in here on earth. Tune in to this week's episode for more. . .
