    We hunger and thirst after many things in our lives but what does it mean to hunger and thirst after righteousness? Why are those who do so, blessed, and how is it that they will be filled? What is it that we are filling our lives with?

     | 11,146 views

    Jesus calls us to be an influence in this world through a comparison to salt in the sermon on the mount.

    INFLUENCE IS….. Matthew 5:13 Intro. I heard of a minister who was making a wooden trellis to support a climbing vine. As he was pounding away, he noticed that a little boy was watching him. The youngster didn’t say a word, so the preacher kept on working, thinking the lad would leave. But he ...read more

    Mercy, what was it Jesus said Blessed are the merciful for they wll be shown mercy. This is by no means the final word on the subject but an introduction into what mercy and being merciful is about.

    Beatitude – Oh Yeah the blessing of being merciful!

    Impacting Your World For Jesus Series

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 10, 2011
     | 11,958 views

    Jesus asks us to be both salt AND light to impact the world around us for him. We need to be both, not one or the other. It’s a challenge!

    Making Jesus better known to others will complicate your life, but the rewards are out of this world! Getting married, or having children complicates things; but they’re worth it. Spending time with people who don’t know Jesus will complicate your life, but it’s so worth it. Ask a mother a few ...read more

    The Poor In Spirit Have God's Approval Series

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 12, 2011
     | 4,089 views

    Part 1. God's approval, his blessing, rests upon those who are poor, contrite in spirit, aware they are spiritually bankrupt before God.

    ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’ (5:3). The Good News Bible says, ‘Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor’ but that doesn’t properly capture what Jesus means. Although it seems old fashioned now, when a father gives his ...read more

    Jesus’ metaphors of salt and light reveal how His followers are to be positive influences in the world.

    You’ve probably all heard the old adage “No man is an island.” Since that was the thought that first came to mind as I read the passage that we’ll look at this morning, this week I did some research to find out where that saying originated. It comes from Meditation XVII ...read more

    Who are the peacemakers and what do they do, what is it like to be a peacemaker and why did Jesus say he "did not come to bring peace to the earth" but that peacemakers would be called sons of God?

    Blessed are the peacemakers One of my Great Great Grandfathers was a man by the name of Harry Louis Moffatt, Now Harry Louis was a good keen man, his father John had been Lord Aylmer the Governor of Canada’s batman (or military servant) and his mother was a French orphan by the name of ...read more

    The key to being blessed while being persecuted is to remain faithful

    Blessed are the Persecuted, theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven It seems like an oxymoron, happiness for the persecuted, joy for the hunted? The word Blessed means “Oh How Happy.” The word translated “persecuted” means, hunted, afflicted, harassed, by hunters, or an enemy or ...read more

    Radical Self-Interest Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Mar 19, 2010
     | 4,241 views

    In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus connects God's forgiveness of us with our forgiveness of others. To forgive is, then, "an act of radical self-interest."

    RADICAL SELF-INTEREST Matthew 6:9-15 (NRSV) 9 "Pray then in this way: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our ...read more
