There probably haven’t been a lot of sermons preached on this particular passage, seeing it is short and acts as a transition from the healing ministry of Jesus to His teaching ministry. This does not mean that He didn’t teach before, but it seems that His teaching was interrupted by the great needs…

I suspect that over the course of your like you have had one or two “aha” moments. It may have been in response to something you heard, something you read, or something you saw. It would have been a time when you gained a new insight or a new clarity that became like a missing piece of a puzzle. It may…

마 5:4 애통하는 자는 복이 있나니 저희가 위로를 받을 것 임이요. 지난 주간도 평안하셨습니까? 지난 주 우리는 심령이 가난한 자는 복이 있다는 말씀을 나누었습니다. 신년을 시작하는 시점에서 우리가 구해야 할 복이 과연 무엇인지를 한번 생각해 보았습니다. 또 이 심령이 가난하다는 것이 모든 복의 시작이기에 새해의 시작과 함께 우리의 마음을 비우고 우리 영혼의 갈급함을 깨닫고 주님께서 주시는 신령한 복을 받고 올 한 해도 주님만 바라보며 나아가기로 다짐하였습니다. 지난 주에 이어서 오늘은 애통하는 자는 복이 있다는 말씀을 함께 나누려…

Whenever you are looking for a new job, it is a good idea to ask to see the “job description” for that job. A job description lists what is expected from the particular position. People end up frustrated in their jobs when what is expected is not clear. This morning we are going to look at the Christian’s…

Pastor Chuck starts a new sermon series about the “Sermon on the Mount”. He describes how Jesus uses “The Beatitudes” help to us redefine what God wants us to admire in the world. Pastor Chuck provides a unique concept for us to use the Beatitudes as “not the attitudes we should have, but the attitudes we should be.” This week, Pastor Chuck’s topic is “Blessed are the Poor in Spirit.” Pastor Chuck describes how being “blessed” is a continuous spiritual condition of spiritual prosperity (being rich in spirit), contentment, and satisfaction in your life, not a physical feeling or state of physical material possession. Pastor Chuck will explain “one who is ‘poor in spirit’ has humbly recognized they have a deep need for God because they know they lack His Holiness and have a need for His forgiveness, grace, and mercy, and need Him as a Savior.” Pastor Chuck encourages us to become more aware of our desperate everyday need for God and to invite Him into our lives more every day.

This morning we continue our study of the Sermon on the Mount by looking at the last part of the Beatitudes that shows us what happens when a person comes into a relationship with Jesus Christ. A true believer is not simply a person who walks an aisle, says a prayer and then checks off the box that says,…

Our brokenness is our blessing in this sense – we don’t have to work to become “poor in spirit.” We already are “poor in spirit.” This beatitude is not about our performance. We do not have to become poor in spirit to be blessed. Rather, this beatitude is about our condition we are blessed to be in a condition where we can receive God’s grace. · If we will not deny our brokenness · If we will not project our brokenness on to others · If we will not self-manage our brokenness · If we will not surrender to our brokenness If we will acknowledge our brokenness and bring our poor spirit to Jesus, then we are blessed because . . .the kingdom of heaven is ours!

“Image is everything” or so we are told by our society. Consequently, we have an over-weight society desperately concerned about losing weight. People undergo all sorts of procedures to make themselves look younger because they know that appearance is a factor in getting hired for a job, and how you…

Let us trade our hypocritical prayers of publicity and verbosity for the sincere prayers of privacy and simplicity.

What does it mean to be blessed by God? Can we follow Jesus without turning back?

Jesus Wants to Give Us Heavenly Happiness (Part 1) Matthew 4:23-5:4 Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - February 20, 2013 *In John 10:10, Jesus said: "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." But how many people are really living the abundant life?…

If Jesus' Kingdom has the same end goals, motivations, and methods as every other Kingdom of the World, it is useless. Jesus' Kingdom isn't like ANY other Kingdom. And His Kingdom goes on forever, won't you join Him? Trust that Jesus, God in a human body, died on the cross for your sins, believe that He was buried, and that He has now been raised from the dead and He will rescue you! Call on Him to be saved from this messed up world, from your messed up mind, messed up life! He will come to you, if you'll trust in Him and stop trusting in yourself, trying to be your own god, and pushing His Way, and His Kingdom aside. God has made this Jesus, both LORD and Messiah!

John Stott the late Pastor and commentator titled his book on the Sermon on the Mount “Christian Counter Culture.” It is an apt title. The Sermon on the Mount calls us to a life that runs counter to the current of contemporary society. That gap is widening every day. As Rick pointed out last week, when…
