Blessed Are…: A Sermon Series on the Beatitudes

When the world rewards ambition and outward success, Jesus turns our gaze inward—with words that still echo through the ages: Blessed are...

In this timely and tender sermon series, Pastor Garth Wehrfritz-Hanson walks us through the Beatitudes—those nine paradoxes that flip our values upside down and reveal the heart of God. Rooted in Scripture and rich in real-life application, each message opens a door to deeper spiritual insight and renewed discipleship.

Whether you’re a pastor preparing sermons, a Bible study leader seeking fresh insights, or simply a Christian longing to grow, Blessed Are will challenge, comfort, and inspire you.

Because blessing isn’t found in what the world gives—but in who God calls us to be.

In this book, you’ll find:

• Engaging, lectionary-based sermons on each Beatitude

• Practical insights for preaching and teaching

• Thoughtful connections between biblical times and today’s world

• Encouragement for personal reflection and spiritual growth

• A fresh reminder of what it truly means to live the blessed life
