Summary

We humans are designed for risk. When we're risking with intention, we're living our lives for something bigger than ourselves. In Matthew, Jesus describes the kingdom of heaven as like treasure hidden in a field. It comes only when we're willing to risk everything for it.

In the Beatitudes, when Jesus says, blessed are, he's actually saying happy are. He actually addresses negative emotions like mourning, sorrow, brokenness. The happiest people in the world embrace their sadness. It is about celebrating life all the time. The happiest people in the world are the ones who have a reason to suffer. The apostles left the Sanhedrin rejoicing, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the name. We are designed for adventure. If you begin to make choices where you're adverse, then you're not happy.

0:53.9	who God has

1:00.1	What's really beautiful about Mosaic is that our biggest givers, our families who do not live here in Los Angeles,
1:05.9	but they are so committed to the message of Jesus going to the world that they support the work here
1:10.1	from Los Angeles to the ends of the earth. And so I want to invite you again, go to mosaic.org
1:14.6	slash give, become a part of our support system, become one of our partners. And more than anything

1:37.9	God, thank you for tonight.
1:40.7	Thank you, God, for moments.
