Finding True Blessedness (Part 2) Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 30, 2023

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

True Treasure Derives From God's Good Pleasure Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Aug 3, 2019

Earthly pleasure is temporary and important to God in terms of legality and morality, but true pleasure comes from God our Father who has gifted His children with the True Treasure that is SO important in terms of eternity.

“My pleasure” is an idiom I sometimes use in response to a “thank you” . . . sort of like a special way of saying “you’re welcome” but reserved for gratifying, delightful experiences which rise above the customary courtesy level . . . of just being polite. Actually to discover true pleasure ...read more

Hearing More Clearly From God Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jan 14, 2018

The story of the boy Samuel provides clues to hear more clearly from God: we need to cultivate our environment, obey with what we do know God wants, and listen with a servant's heart. In doing so, we set ourselves up to be better listeners and obeyers.

1 Samuel 3:1-20 Hearing More Clearly from God Prophets with a Purpose – week 1 Today we’re starting a five-week series I’m calling, “Prophets with a Purpose.” A prophet or prophetess is someone who speaks for God.

The Worship Of God

Contributed by David Washburn on Oct 28, 2002

The worship of God begins on the Sabbath, but true worship is lived everyday through our commitment to God and God’s calling.

What does it mean to worship? The heading on the inside of our bulletin states, “Gathered to Worship.” We call what we do during this hour “ our worship service.” In describing this time to our children, we sometimes refer to it as “Big Church,” because they have their children’s church. So what is ...read more

One True Leader Over Life Series
