Kainos Church PDX

Jake leads us through a discussion of our next Beatitudes: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied” and “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.”

Madison leads us through the story of Jesus’ resurrection from John 20, focusing on Mary Magdalene’s perspective and the “Gardener God” who conquered the grave!

Jake introduces our passage of Scripture for the year, “The Beatitudes” before diving into the first line “Blessed are the Poor in Spirit.”
