Homily – February 1, 2026

Guest preacher Pastor Lesley shares a comforting message from Matthew 5. Reflecting on the Beatitudes, she reminds us that Jesus’ words are not a list of requirements—but a promise that God already sees and loves us just as we are.

In a world where many feel overlooked, afraid, or weary, this sermon proclaims hope: God’s kingdom breaks through in our real lives today. We are called to be meek, merciful, and peacemakers, trusting that God meets us in our struggles with grace.

Remember this good news: God sees you, God loves you, and you are blessed.
