Into the Silent Land: Rabbi Jesus and the Beatitudes

In this opening message of the Into the Silent Land series, Joshua Brown invites listeners to rediscover discipleship by seeing Jesus as Rabbi. Preaching from Matthew 5:1–12, he reframes the Beatitudes as a kingdom manifesto—revealing who God’s reign is aimed at and how we, as disciples, are called to embody it. With a challenge to reject shallow belief and embrace deep formation, this sermon calls us to follow Jesus with our whole lives, bringing justice, mercy, and hope to the forgotten and oppressed.
