About this sermon

Can we truly be blessed in a world that prizes power, wealth, and self-promotion? In a culture driven by noise and achievement, Jesus offers a different path. One marked by humility, mercy, and dependence on God. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus redefines what it means to live a blessed life. Message based on Matthew 5:1-12 Quotes: King George VI: Take the hand of God and walk out into the unknown. It will be better to you than a light. A.T. Robertson: These beatitudes assume a new heart. Because for me to be the kind of person he's describing, I'd have to have a different kind of heart than I was born with. Duane Brooks: Jesus started something. We're in the now kingdom. He said, the kingdom of God is among you. Don't look and say, is it over there or over there? No, it's in you. Dallas Willard: The Beatitudes served to clarify Jesus' fundamental message: the free availability of God's rule and righteousness to all of humanity through reliance upon Jesus Himself. They do this simply by taking those who, from the human point of view, are regarded as most hopeless, most beyond all possibility of God's blessing or even interest, and exhibiting them as enjoying God's touch and abundant provision from the heavens.
