Scripture: Luke 6:17-26

In this sermon, we examine Luke 6:17-26, where Jesus challenges conventional wisdom by pronouncing blessings for the poor, the hungry, and the marginalized. This passage reveals that God's favor often rests on those whom society overlooks. It also highlights the sacredness to be found in unexpected places and people. Drawing on Rob Bell's theme of finding the divine within the ordinary, we explore how these radical teachings invite us to rethink our perceptions of success and worth. Ultimately, we are called to embrace the sacred and unexpected in our own lives, to welcome the marginalized, and to recognize the beauty and value of individuals who may not fit societal norms.
