Each beatitude is a building block for a Christian life, with mercy holding the bricks together in the middle. Pastor West urges listeners to embrace silence in worship and challenges them to extend the mercy they have received from God to others. The sermon concludes by emphasizing the reciprocal nature of mercy - when we give mercy, we receive mercy.
