What are you hungry for? What are you thirsty for? This is a vivid way of asking, What is it that you most deeply desire? In his fourth beatitude Jesus pronounces a blessing on “those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.” This coming Sunday we will explore what biblical righteousness is. I’ll give you a little preview. Righteousness isn’t something that we can earn or possess. In fact, we call that self-righteousness. Rather righteousness is something that we can connect to and participate in. Righteousness is a gift from God that transforms us as individuals and communities. May we hunger and thirst for that transformation. Click on the title to listen to Pastor Ernie’s October 8 message, “Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness”
