    The Blessings Of The Christian

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,655 views

    We willingly accept the blessings of the Beatitudes, but must also embrace the responsibilities.

    THE BLESSINGS OF THE CHRISTIAN. Matthew 5:1-12. The Sermon on the Mount is directed towards those who are already disciples of Jesus (Matthew 5:1). This is important. It counters both those religious hopefuls who find the Beatitudes impossible to keep, and those religious moralists who glibly ...read more

    As we enter a new year we are in a place of decision - like standing in Shechem, between Mount Gerizim and Ebal. In the coming year will you choose blessings or curses?

    BLESSINGS OR CURSES? There is a story about a mountain climber who wanted to climb the highest mountain. He began his adventure after many years of preparation. Since he wanted the glory just for himself, he decided to climb the mountain alone. The night felt heavy in the heights of the ...read more

    Blessed Are The Ermine Series

    Contributed by David Swanger on Feb 13, 2013
     | 7,943 views

    While we tend to focus on the purity of such things as food, water, and air, we would be wise to focus more intently on the purity of heart that Jesus speaks of here. A purity if not possessed will prevent us from seeing God both now and eternally.

    Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. The ermine is a short-tailed weasel that has the unique feature of having its fur change to a snow-white color in the win¬ter. God created this animal with this feature to protect it from others. The ermine instinctively protects his white coat ...read more

     | 4,511 views

    Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of righteousness in the haearts of men and women.Peacemakers are those who have been called to share that reality with others.

    Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. One would be hard pressed to find a better description of the peace that God desires for his children than the words of an old song written in 1875 by Edward ...read more

    Blessed Are The Persecuted Series

    Contributed by David Swanger on Feb 27, 2013
     | 5,218 views

    Called to live a beatitude kind of life, the hard reality is anyone who lives out the first seven beatitudes is guaranteed at some point to experience the eighth.

    Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Jesus ends the beatitudes by saying “Blessed are those persecuted, reviled, and spoken against.” Would anyone care to get in “the blessed line?” Most of us prefer ...read more

     | 3,959 views

    The unknown shepherds became the privileged ones to received the Christmas news first. They BELIEVED the message, they BECAME the message and they were TRANSFORMED by the message.

    The birth of Jesus Christ was not revealed to kings or rulers. It was not even revealed to the religious elite. • God has decided to announce His coming, the birth of Jesus Christ, to ordinary shepherds out in the fields. • They were probably unlearned, and without status, but they ...read more

    It is only in our brokenness that we understaned who we are, what we need, humbly serve, and become a blessing in the lives of other broken people.

    Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” To understand the “poor in spirit” you only need to understand the Hebrew word anawin. The best way to understand this word is to remember what happened to the inhabitants of Israel when they were hauled into ...read more

    God has never spent one moment thinking He is me. Meekness is understanding who I am, who God is, and responding accordingly.

    “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Jesus’ first statements were shocking to the audience that sat before Him on this Galilean hillside.. He challenged them with things totally foreign to their way of thinking. No doubt, they expected to be commended for ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,461 views

    Surrendering your life to God is the way to blessings. How can we do it? (1) Get rid of false assumptions; (2) believe God has your best in mind, and (3) look at what you get, not what you lose.

    Romans 12:1-2 1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. 2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you ...read more

    It is a biblical principle mentioned in 2 Corinthians that if we “Give generously .... Reap generously.” However, if we “Give sparingly ... Reap sparingly.” God is no one’s debtor.

    Opening illustration: Story of Crystal Jagnow … Introduction: The Bible tells us it is more blessed to give than receive. There are many spiritual laws in place for the giver. We must all learn to be givers in the right way. The Word of God says that we must be cheerful givers. We also must learn ...read more
