About this episode

Chrissy Cole explores the meaning of righteousness and the pursuit of true satisfaction through Jesus, as highlighted in Matthew 5.

Matthew 5 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” This message examines what righteousness means, why none of us can produce it on our own, and how Jesus calls us beyond the appearance of righteousness into a real pursuit of him. From spiritual poverty to repentance, the sermon points back to the cross as the place where self righteousness ends and true satisfaction begins.
