Blessed!? - When Having Less Means Having More
Aug 23, 2026 • Dr. Jeremy McMorris
Jesus’ words in Luke 6:20–24 turn our normal definition of the “blessed life” upside down. He encourages the poor, hungry, grieving, and rejected while giving a sobering warning to the rich, full, comfortable, and admired. Jesus isn’t teaching that poverty saves or that wealth is sinful; he is warning us not to measure God’s blessing by what we possess right now. Blessed are the needy who look to Christ; woe to those who are satisfied without Him. This message challenges us to recognize our need, find our ultimate satisfaction in Christ, and faithfully steward what God has given us for His kingdom.
