Скачать или смотреть God's Favor (Session 3): Those Who Mourn | Year on the Mountaintop

Welcome back to Year on the Mountaintop: God’s Favor — where we continue exploring the Beatitudes and the paradox of divine blessing.

In this message, Dr. Josh Olds unpacks the second Beatitude: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
Jesus turns our understanding of grief upside down, revealing that the Kingdom of God brings comfort not by avoiding sorrow but by redeeming it. To mourn is to love deeply and to feel the ache of a broken world — and it’s precisely there that God meets us with His presence.

Josh explores how godly sorrow leads to healing, how lament becomes a language of hope, and how Jesus Himself embodies the God who weeps with us.

📖 Scripture Focus: Matthew 5 : 4
🎙️ Theme: Comfort in the Kingdom of God
🕊️ Key Idea: In the Kingdom, mourning is not the end of the story — it’s the beginning of redemption.
