Episode 01 | Matt 5:1-12 | Dave Miles | 26/04/2026

Dave begins a new series on the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), beginning with the Beatitudes and focusing on Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.”

Dave presents righteousness as a new way of living—obedience from the heart that seeks God’s kingdom and will “to the max.”

This talk explores why believers would crave God’s will, arguing from Ephesians 1 that God’s will and pleasure are one and the same, reflecting the Old Testament concept of God’s “ratzon” (favour/pleasure/will), illustrated in Psalms, Proverbs, and Isaiah 61 as the Messiah’s announcement of the “year of the Lord’s favour.”

Dave challenges fear-based views of God, frames obedience as entering God’s delight, and addresses spiritual apathy by showing how Jesus awakens desire, using John 4 to reveal misplaced pursuits that don’t satisfy and invite people to living water and true fulfilment.
