Sermon 7: Matthew 5:1-12

S1 E7 • Dec 9, 2023 • 35 mins

Philip reads Matthew 5:1-12, reflecting on growing up and diving into Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. He unpacks the Beatitudes, explaining "blessed" from the Greek "makarios" and emphasizes righteousness, mercy, purity, and peacemaking. Listeners are invited to trust Jesus, with a prayer for salvation and a call to action.

Key Points

  • Living a blessed life according to Jesus involves embracing humility, righteousness, mercy, purity, peacemaking, and perseverance.
  • True happiness and fulfillment come from aligning our lives with God's standards rather than seeking self-help solutions or worldly approval.
  • Perseverance in the face of persecution for righteousness' sake demonstrates our unshakeable faith in Jesus Christ and the reality of God's kingdom.
