The Reversals of Redemption

Feb 23, 2025    Claire Cottrill

In this message, we explore Jesus’ Sermon on the Plain, where He speaks directly to His disciples and presents a radical vision for life in His kingdom. Through a series of blessings and woes, Jesus challenges the world's idea of success, showing that what seems like a blessing can actually lead to corruption and emptiness, while what feels like a curse can become an opportunity for God's blessing. He calls us to a life of reversal—one where true fulfillment is found not in wealth, comfort, or popularity, but in dependence on Him. No matter our struggles, Jesus sees us, meets us in our need, and promises joy and restoration.
