    The Plan For True Success: Seek Justice; Seek Humility

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 28, 2026
     | 151 views

    We are blessed in our poverty of spirit, our recognition of what is lacking in life, because that leaves us open to Him filling us with His Spirit.

    Fourth Sunday Integral 2026 Today our Introit sings “Save us, O Lord our God and gather us from the nations to give thanks to your holy name and make it our glory to praise you.” Isn’t that a prayer that God take us to heaven? We should plead to God every day that He save us from our own sinful ...read more

     | 145 views

    God is recognized in new manner.

    The problem with happy is that it is linked with happenstance—it depends on what is happening to you. If you want to feel happy for a lifetime, become a Gardner, if you want to feel happy for a moment, eat a carb! Perfect happiness is “blessed” as is the Beatific Vision, and that is where the ...read more

    Jesus has come to fulfill the law, not do away with it. However, the focus shifts to fulfilling the law in Jesus’s way rather than Moses’s.

    Blessed Art Thou

    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.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “Blessed Art Thou” “Have a blessed day.” Perhaps you have heard that phrase from time to time. Too often it’s not a parting wish from a close ...read more

    The Birthmark Of Persecution Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 23, 2022
     | 1,425 views

    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

    At The Poverty Line Series

     | 1,560 views

    Being financially secure, being well educated, having the respect and admiration of your neighbors, none of those get you credit in God’s kingdom. We’re all charity cases there.

    Are you happy? If not, what would it take to make you happy? For most people, happiness seems to have something to do with our circumstances. In our youth-obsessed culture, perhaps we feel we have to look backward to imagine happiness. “What is happiness?” and “How can I get happiness?” are two ...read more

    Pulpit notes for preaching on the Beatitudes.

    THE BEATITUDES. Matthew 5:1-12. MATTHEW 5:3. “Poor in spirit.” Humble. Recognise their lostness without Christ. Not too proud to receive Jesus as Saviour. “Theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” MATTHEW 5:4. “They that mourn.” Mourn over their sin, admit it. ‘Against thee, thee only have I sinned’ ...read more

    Fourth Sunday In Ordinary Time- The Real Meaning Of "blessed Are The Poor In Spirit.”

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 22, 2022
     | 1,580 views

    The other, more important meaning, is that there will be a coming reversal of circumstances for those who are unfortunate, the marginalized, the abused, those who live in poverty, so these beatitudes are not just virtues to attain in this life.

    Will we experience increased persecution in the days ahead? If so, will we respond in a way that facilitates the work of the Holy Spirit, or will we respond in the flesh, pursuing worthy goals in an unworthy manner? Message examines biblical revelation of how to respond.

    Intro Persecution: Will we experience increased persecution in the days ahead? If so, will we be prepared and equipped to handle it well? These are questions that naturally arise as we read our text today. It’s found in Matthew 5:10--12: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' ...read more

    Benefits Of Persecution Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,909 views

    In this exposition of Jesus's 8th Beatitude ("Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake"), we explore biblical revelation as to why persecution is a blessing, more specifically, what are the benefits of persecution for God's people.

    Intro We are considering the 8th Beatitude in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Persecution is a major theme in Scripture. We see it in the first family; it runs all through the Old and New Testaments; and in the ...read more

    PRAYING SCRIPTURE To complete our study of the Beatitudes, we will now use this portion of Scripture as a template for prayer.

    Finding True Blessedness (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 30, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,996 views

    This message covers the last six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 2).” As we get started, I should remind us that the words of Jesus seen in our passage are called “The Beatitudes,” and that the word “beatitude” comes from a Latin term meaning “blessedness.”(1) But the term “blessed” used ...read more
