Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness

Christ City Church, Washington DC

Reverend Brandon Wrencher brings us a word on what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness on both a personal level and for the world. God does not offer us a “half-full justice.” Rather, God abundantly provides enough justice for it all. [Matthew 5:6]
