The Sermon On The Mount / The First Three Beatitudes Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 3, 2022

In the Beatitudes, Jesus states eight or nine things which result in us being 'blessed' - meaning, happy or fortunate. They are right at the heart of being right with God and they are very different to the things which most people think will make them happy or fortunate.

I don’t know how many talks we’ll have on it, but it will be more than six! What is ‘the Sermon on the Mount’? Well, ...read more

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 5, 2022

In the fourth, fifth and sixth Beatitudes, Jesus continues to describe the child of God. He or she hungers and thirsts for righteousness, shows mercy and offers God a pure heart. We consider what Jesus is asking for.

INTRODUCTION Last week we started a new series on the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount starts with nine statements that Jesus made which begin, ‘Blessed are.’ ‘Blessed’ means ‘happy’ or ‘fortunate’. We often call these statements ‘the Beatitudes.’ If we asked people in the world ...read more

The Sermon On The Mount / The Seventh Beatitude Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 12, 2022

'Blessed are the peacemakers.' We all too easily think in terms of fight or not fight. But Jesus gives us a clear goal when we are in or see situations of conflict.

Note: this was a talk for a family service which children come to. So we’re only covering one Beatitude and it’s fairly simple. Over the past two weeks we’ve started to look at the Sermon on the Mount. This is a sermon preached on … you guessed it! … a mountainside. It’s the longest of Jesus’ ...read more

The Blessed People

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on May 13, 2022

Jesus taught us is to challenge us and to encourage us.

The Blessed People Today, let's meditate on the gospel according to Matthew, chapter 5. The sermon that Jesus delivers is affectionately called the sermon on the mount. In my opinion, the sermon on the mount is more like a devotional on the mount. But traditionally, we call it the Sermon on ...read more

Hungering For Righteousness

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 4, 2021

If a person does not hunger for physical food they probably will not take time to eat and will die. If a person does not hunger for spiritual food they probably will not take time for spiritual food and will die spiritually. So, why don't we spend more time feasting on God's Word?

What Is Happiness, Really? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 4, 2021

Happiness does not come from anything this-worldly. If you restrict happiness and joy to material things, you are doomed to disappointment.

Happiness Is . . . When I was in my teens, it was still legal to advertise cigarettes on television, so we were often overwhelmed with those kinds of commercials. I think the one that was most offensive was the one that used a popular jingle to say “Happiness is the taste of” a particular cancer ...read more

Be The Merciful One

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 11, 2021

Blessed are the merciful. Are you blessed? Are you merciful? Is the world in need of mercy? Yes. Is the Lord merciful? Absolutely! Are you allowing Jesus to use you as a conduit of His mercy to those in need of mercy???

Blessed Art Thou

Contributed by David Roth on Nov 5, 2022

As we count our blessings, while we are thankful for the provisions of this life, the place of our blessedness is in our redemption by the blood of Jesus.

The Birthmark Of Persecution Series

Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 23, 2022

Persecution stems from the world's anger with God and not being able to take it out on Him. The world wants to fight God, but choose to fight with Christians. Remember it is not personal, it is hatred for God.

This is the final message on the Beatitudes, the Birthmarks of the Believers. Jesus was the Messiah, but He was not the Messiah everyone was expecting. The Jews were in bondage. They believed that when He came, He was going to come as a mighty warrior. They were not as interested in being saved ...read more
