    The Sermon On The Mount (Part Four) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 3, 2019
     | 4,323 views

    Today we finish up the beatitudes. They all work together-being poor in spirit causes me to have godly sorrow. Being meek allows me to be merciful and thus-a peacemaker. If I hunger and thirst for righteousness I will be pure in heart. All of these are important in dealing with persecution.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part four) Matt. 5:10-12 Today we finish up the beatitudes. And in looking at them I can see how they all work together-Being poor in spirit causes me to mourn (have godly sorrow). Being meek (kind, gentle and humble) allows me to be merciful.

    Have you been mistreated in any way in the last few weeks? I want to help us focus on the bad deals we have received and see how we can turn those into times we can praise God.

    1. I wonder if you have been treated unfairly in any way this week. a. To a child, did your parents blame you for something your brother or sister did? b. At school, did your teacher get you for something the fellow behind you did? And you tried to explain and made matters worse. c. I am talking ...read more

    Perhaps you heard this phrase growing up (and have repeated it to your own kids): 'do as I say, not as I do'. I can swear but if I hear you do it you're in trouble. Contrast that with what we see in the bible and we realize the right thing to be able to say is, 'do as I do'.

    DO AS I DO Perhaps you heard this phrase growing up (and have repeated it to your own kids): 'do as I say, not as I do'. That's our response when we hear, 'but you do it' or, 'but you say it'. I can swear up a storm but if I hear you do it you're in big trouble. ...read more

     | 6,095 views

    A word we don't like is submission. We certainly don't like it when we feel as if we're being wronged somehow. “Submission” is the key ingredient that enables a Christian to live a good life among the ungodly!

    I’m confident that in the years that follow, there will be plenty of articles and books written about this chapter in world history and in church history. And they will address the question, “what lessons did we learn from all of this?” And I’m confident that much of that will be helpful. Looking ...read more
