SERMON BY:Bro. Lynn Schuyler
SERMON TITLE: What Does it Mean to be Blessed?
SERMON THEME: The Sermon on the Mount
SERMON SERIES: Standing in the Gap
SERMON TEXT: Matthew 5:1-12
What does it mean to be blessed?
* we are right with God (we are inheriting the Kingdom, and in fellowship with Him)
* we are convicted of sin (we mourn our and the world’s wickedness)
* we are humbled (mild, patient, long-suffering, knowing that God is always in control)
* we are hungry for the righteousness of God
* we are right with others, i.e., we show abundant mercy
* we are pure (not hypocrites, i.e., our walk matches our talk)
* we are not scorekeepers or grudge-keepers
* we are persecuted by worldlings because we separate ourselves from sin, living for the LORD.
Matthew 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
