"Hunger & Thirst For Righteousness"

Dr. Gary Singleton

Most of us consider ourselves to be pretty good people.  We’re honest and trustworthy.  We’re hardworking and responsible (at least most of the time).  In fact, I’ll bet most of us believe we’re above average when it comes to personal integrity.  And if you think your personal integrity could use some help – WikiHow has several suggestions for you.
 
This Sunday we’re continuing our sermon series on the Beatitudes called “Upside Down Kingdom.”  We’ll be taking a look at Matthew 5:6, where Jesus tells us, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”  In a world where self-righteousness is everywhere, and we believe that being “pretty good” is good enough, Jesus turns things upside down and calls us to be righteous.
 
Do you hunger and thirst after righteousness?  I hope you will join me Sunday as we discover that when we pursue righteousness … when we pursue more of Jesus … we will be satisfied.
