From Empty Worship to Pure Hearts

Matthew 5:1-12 provides the text from which 5 Kingdom paths are explored:

Embracing Spiritual Poverty

Mourning That Leads to Comfort

Strength in Meekness

A Righteous Hunger

Seeing God with Clean Hearts

The questions for further reflection:

In what area of your life are you still relying on your own effort rather than admitting your total dependence on Jesus?

Will you lean into your pain long enough to let Christ comfort you and redirect your tears into compassionate action?

Where are you clinging to your rights or seeking revenge, instead of trusting God’s timing and yielding in meek humility?

Which injustice ignites restless compassion in you, and what first step will you take this week to pursue God’s righteousness?What hidden motive or divided loyalty do you need to confess—and how will you pursue purity of heart in the days ahead?
