    Blessed Are The Meek Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 4, 2007
     | 4,617 views

    The meek are not weak. They trust in God’s sovereign rule over all things, submitting in His way and time. Their strength is Spirit-controlled, so that God’s will be done and His glory be manifested.

    The purpose of the Sermon on the Mount is to inform God’s disciples of the qualities they are to possess and display to a watching world. So far we’ve come to see that a blessed Christian is someone who is: “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” • We know we have ...read more

    "Why is all this happening to me? I read the Bible, pray, attend church, and tithe." This is exactly what Gideon was saying when he said, "Why then?"

This was not primarily a military invasion like that of an army invading a land. This invasion was more of a gypsy-type migration. The Midianites came into the land of Israel ...read more

    This message seeks to answer why people can hear the same message but respond in opposite ways.

    Although I have been a Christian for thirty plus years there are still so many things that puzzle me. How can people hear the life changing message of Jesus Christ and refuse to accept it?
