For the past few weeks we've been studying the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). Last week we talked about the mourning and discovered that they are those people who recognize their mistakes and faults, seek forgiveness, and turn to Jesus to be comforted. We unpacked the truth that the Cross is no longer just a symbol of His death, but our hope and life. Through Jesus and the Cross, we can be forgiven and be comforted.
Tonight, Luke Cymbal will be sharing with us the next Beatitude:
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." (Mt. 5:5)
.
We'll also discuss the intended reasons behind our study. Some questions to think about in regards to the background are:
.
(1) Who was Jesus teaching? In respect to their ethnicity, what sort of things would they be wanting to know from Jesus?
.
(2) Why are the Beatitudes important, anyway? What's the big deal?
.
(3) How should they affect our lives for the better? What changes should be made?
.
(4) Can I see the Beatitudes demonstrated in my life and the life of others?
.
Don't forget! Wednesday Night Live! meets
TONIGHT at 6:30PM!
