Doug Pagitt talks with Mary Theresa (Terry) Webb about her new book "Following Jesus in the Age of Trump" The book confronts the issues of Trumpism and Christian Nationalism. Dr. Webb asks readers to consider "Which road do you take to follow Jesus?"  How does your Christian faith impact your current political decisions?  Dr. Webb, a seminary-trained evangelical Christian and professional counselor, asks all American Christians these questions and posits to dialogue with them.   She explores following Jesus' path when Israel was under Roman rule with the compass of the Beatitudes, his teachings and healings; in Nazi Germany under Hitler, and in America today, with Trumpism and Christian Nationalism. www.votecommongood.com

Pastor Brent walks through the rest of the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:7-12), and presents a challenge: Are you planting the seeds for the fruit you want? If you want to dive deeper into the Beatitudes, check out this book. It’s been the basis for how we’ve been approaching and applying these verses.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus calls men and women to follow him. This discipleship in which he calls them to, does not take place in a traditional classroom or student-teacher setting. This discipelship takes place in the "everyday" aspects of life: walking along the road, attending celebrations, and having conversations in the local water hole. We are called to the same life of faith...one that is ACTIVE. During this next season of our church, we desire to shift our discipleship into an active, purposeful endeavor.  To follow Christ begins with a shifting of perspective. The Beatitudes help us see the world behind this world.  Passage: Matthew 5:1-12 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience. We have our Sanctuary Service ("blended") at 9am. Our Online Service begins at 9:30am at pointlomachurch.org. And our Chapel Service ("modern") starts at 10:30am.

Israel asked Samuel to ask God to give them a king like all the neighboring nations. Soon, Israel would be led by a man, not by God. That transition was just a matter of time.

Blessed Are Those Who Hunger & Thirst For Righteousness // THE BEATITUDES // Gislaine Sierra

Blessed Are The Meek // THE BEATITUDES // Virgil Sierra

Ephesians 5:18 commands us: "Be being filled with the Holy Spirit." Pastor Derek explains what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and how we can be filled with the Spirit of God, and the difference it will make in our lives.

Not every family is the perfect model of Catholic family life. Some of us approach parenting still wounded by childhood experiences that were less than ideal. When we start our own families, at best we feel a bit unprepared, and at worst we feel paralyzed with fear that we will repeat our parents dysfunctional, abusive behaviors. In All Things New, Erin McCole Cupp draws on her own and others experiences to discuss how to develop a joyful family life when our own experience of being parented was damaging. Erin wrote this book for moms and dads who want to parent better than they themselves were parented. Drawing on the Holy Family as the model of family life, and distilling practical lessons from the Two Greatest Commandments and the Beatitudes, All Things New shows readers that, while change isn't easy, God has given us all the ingredients we need to create a holy, joyful family. Erin and I discuss recognizing and overcoming toxic cycles, setting boundaries, and moving toward sanctity.

Join us as we journey through the profound teachings of the Beatitudes, particularly focusing on the phrase, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Listen in as we uncover the layers of meaning behind the term 'meek' and its significance in Psalm 37. We ponder the connection between meekness, hope, and turning away from anger and fretting, which according to the Psalm, leads to evil. We also discuss the fascinating dimensions of this Beatitude, particularly the eschatological implications. In the second part of our discussion, we turn to the promise of 'inheriting the earth' and how it relates to the concept of meekness as taught by Jesus. We talk about the vital connection between meekness and trust and how walking the path of meekness is indeed an act of faith. Delving into biblical history, we discuss how God's promise to Abraham of inheriting the land exemplifies meekness. We also highlight the significance of servanthood and sacrifice in the rule of Jesus' kingdom. Lastly, we venture into the intersection of faith and politics. We examine the complexities of political engagement, particularly for pastors, and how a biblical perspective can be presented without veering into partisan politics or endorsing specific candidates. We also touch upon the diverse views on economics within churches in the United States and England, and how preachers can mindfully avoid making hasty political statements that might overshadow the message of Christ. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:11) - Exploring the Meaning of Meekness (0:17:39) - The Concept of Inheriting God's Promises (0:30:12) - Clarifying the Concept of the Kingdom (0:34:36) - Christian Politics and Post-MillennialismUnderstanding Post-Millennialism and Christian Politics (0:45:21) - The Role of Politics in Preaching This episode is presented by PULPIT AI.

“Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God” (Mt 5:8).

Proper 19 First Psalm: Psalms 70–71 Psalms 70–71 (Listen) O Lord, Do Not Delay To the choirmaster. Of David, for the memorial offering. 70   Make haste, O God, to deliver me!    O LORD, make haste to help me!2   Let them be put to shame and confusion    who seek my life!  Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor    who delight in my hurt!3   Let them turn back because of their shame    who say, “Aha, Aha!” 4   May all who seek you    rejoice and be glad in you!  May those who love your salvation    say evermore, “God is great!”5   But I am poor and needy;    hasten to me, O God!  You are my help and my deliverer;    O LORD, do not delay! Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent 71   In you, O LORD, do I take refuge;    let me never be put to shame!2   In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;    incline your ear to me, and save me!3   Be to me a rock of refuge,    to which I may continually come;  you have given the command to save me,    for you are my rock and my fortress. 4   Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,    from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.5   For you, O Lord, are my hope,    my trust, O LORD, from my youth.6   Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;    you are he who took me from my mother's womb.  My praise is continually of you. 7   I have been as a portent to many,    but you are my strong refuge.8   My mouth is filled with your praise,    and with your glory all the day.9   Do not cast me off in the time of old age;    forsake me not when my strength is spent.10   For my enemies speak concerning me;    those who watch for my life consult together11   and say, “God has forsaken him;    pursue and seize him,    for there is none to deliver him.” 12   O God, be not far from me;    O my God, make haste to help me!13   May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;    with scorn and disgrace may they be covered    who seek my hurt.14   But I will hope continually    and will praise you yet more and more.15   My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,    of your deeds of salvation all the day,    for their number is past my knowledge.16   With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come;    I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone. 17   O God, from my youth you have taught me,    and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.18   So even to old age and gray hairs,    O God, do not forsake me,  until I proclaim your might to another generation,    your power to all those to come.19   Your righteousness, O God,    reaches the high heavens.  You who have done great things,    O God, who is like you?20   You who have made me see many troubles and calamities    will revive me again;  from the depths of the earth    you will bring me up again.21   You will increase my greatness    and comfort me again. 22   I will also praise you with the harp    for your faithfulness, O my God;  I will sing praises to you with the lyre,    O Holy One of Israel.23   My lips will shout for joy,    when I sing praises to you;    my soul also, which you have redeemed.24   And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,  for they have been put to shame and disappointed    who sought to do me hurt. (ESV) Second Psalm: Psalm 74 Psalm 74 (Listen) Arise, O God, Defend Your Cause A Maskil1 of Asaph. 74   O God, why do you cast us off forever?    Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?2   Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old,    which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage!    Remember Mount Zion, where you have dwelt.3   Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins;    the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary! 4   Your foes have roared in the midst of your meeting place;    they set up their own signs for signs.5   They were like those who swing axes    in a forest of trees.26   And all its carved wood    they broke down with hatchets and hammers.7   They set your sanctuary on fire;    they profaned the dwelling place of your name,    bringing it down to the ground.8   They said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”;    they burned all the meeting places of God in the land. 9   We do not see our signs;    there is no longer any prophet,    and there is none among us who knows how long.10   How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?    Is the enemy to revile your name forever?11   Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?    Take it from the fold of your garment3 and destroy them! 12   Yet God my King is from of old,    working salvation in the midst of the earth.13   You divided the sea by your might;    you broke the heads of the sea monsters4 on the waters.14   You crushed the heads of Leviathan;    you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.15   You split open springs and brooks;    you dried up ever-flowing streams.16   Yours is the day, yours also the night;    you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.17   You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth;    you have made summer and winter. 18   Remember this, O LORD, how the enemy scoffs,    and a foolish people reviles your name.19   Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild beasts;    do not forget the life of your poor forever. 20   Have regard for the covenant,    for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.21   Let not the downtrodden turn back in shame;    let the poor and needy praise your name. 22   Arise, O God, defend your cause;    remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day!23   Do not forget the clamor of your foes,    the uproar of those who rise against you, which goes up continually! Footnotes [1] 74:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term [2] 74:5 The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain [3] 74:11 Hebrew from your bosom [4] 74:13 Or the great sea creatures (ESV) Old Testament: 1 Kings 22:29–45 1 Kings 22:29–45 (Listen) Ahab Killed in Battle 29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. 30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your robes.” And the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle. 31 Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, “Fight with neither small nor great, but only with the king of Israel.” 32 And when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “It is surely the king of Israel.” So they turned to fight against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out. 33 And when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him. 34 But a certain man drew his bow at random1 and struck the king of Israel between the scale armor and the breastplate. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded.” 35 And the battle continued that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, until at evening he died. And the blood of the wound flowed into the bottom of the chariot. 36 And about sunset a cry went through the army, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!” 37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria. 38 And they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes washed themselves in it, according to the word of the LORD that he had spoken. 39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab and all that he did, and the ivory house that he built and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 40 So Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place. Jehoshaphat Reigns in Judah 41 Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 43 He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the LORD. Yet the high places were not taken away, and the people still sacrificed and made offerings on the high places. 44 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel. 45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? Footnotes [1] 22:34 Hebrew in his innocence (ESV) New Testament: 1 Corinthians 2:14–3:15 1 Corinthians 2:14–3:15 (Listen) 14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. Divisions in the Church 3 But I, brothers,1 could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human? 5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building. 10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled2 master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—13 each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. Footnotes [1] 3:1 Or brothers and sisters [2] 3:10 Or wise (ESV) Gospel: Matthew 5:1–10 Matthew 5:1–10 (Listen) The Sermon on the Mount 5 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. The Beatitudes 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. 8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons1 of God. 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Josh continues through the Beatitudes journey

This week we start with the Beatitudes. When I was younger, I wrongly thought that the Beatitudes in Matthew didn't apply to me.  All those blessed rewards were not things that I was or could do.  I had a pink Precious Moments Bible that had an illustration about “Blessed are the Peacemakers” and I didn't know if I was a peacemaker.  It wasn't until I was in my 30s that I found out what all the characteristics of the blessed ones were.

Welcome to the Hearing Jesus podcast with your host, Rachael Groll. In today's episode, we explore the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, specifically focusing on the Beatitudes. Join us as we explore these teachings of Jesus, revealing how they challenge conventional expectations and redirect us toward meekness, mercy, and peace. Discover the significance of being the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world" in this transformative journey through the foundational wisdom of Jesus. Tune in for insights that are as relevant today as they were in the time of the disciples.   This episode is a companion to Episode 12 of the Hearing Jesus for Kids Podcast: Hearing Jesus for Kids   For family discussion guides, journaling worksheets, bonus content, and our private discussion forum, please visit our Patreon page:  patreon.com/HearingJesus   FREE APP: Daily Bible Inspirations: https://onelink.to/groll Learn: https://shehears.org Shop: https://shehears.org/resources Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.    Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.     Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

It was a wooden box overlaid with gold, and it symbolized the presence of God. Israel thought it would guarantee a win, but it didn't. Their nemesis, the Philistines captured the Ark of the Covenant, but the Philistines soon discovered it was too much to take.

Week 5 of the Element3 Church series “The Beatitudes." Message slides available at element3.org/slides

Jesus taught the "Beatitudes," but what are some of the ME-attitudes that make us MEligious? In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares about the worldly thinking that opposes Jesus' teaching on living in the Kingdom. Matthew chapters 5-7 contain Jesus' famous sermon often called "The Sermon on the Mount." The sermon starts in verses 3 through 10 with 8 statements that all begin with the phrase "blessed are ________."Over time, these statements were called The Beatitudes from the Latin word for "blessed." 1. Beatitude: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.The "poor in spirit" are those who recognize that their need for God.  MEattitude: I am blessed when I don't need anyone else's help.Galatians 5:25God will be your crisis manager, but he would rather be your daily planner. 2. Beatitude: Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. MEattitude: I am blessed when I never experience loss, grief, or mourning.Acts 14:22 John 16:33The Kingdom of God is now and not yet—at the same time. 3. Beatitude: Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.Meekness is ability restrained by wisdom.  MEatittiude: I'm blessed when I get to say and do what I want, because I am right.James 3:132 Timothy 2:25Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. 4. Beatitude: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.Righteousness is the state of being in acceptable condition to God.  MEattitude: I will feel fulfilled when I get everyone else's approval.Galatians 1:10 5.

Beatitudes- Blessed are the Hunger and Thirst | Matthew 5:6

The post The Beatitudes appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.

The nine Beatitudes that open the Sermon on the Mount are endearing but also perplexing. How can Jesus say that those who are poor or persecuted are blessed? How can such persons be assured of the promises that Jesus says are theirs? Understanding the meaning of the Beatitudes is central to understanding the entire Sermon on the Mount.

"The Beatitudes" - Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount by proclaiming blessing on people. And while it's one of the best-known sections of the sermon, people struggle to understand how to apply it. In this episode, we'll attempt to simplify it, without diminishing its importance. 

Fr. Mike reads the Sermon on the Mount and explains how Jesus' teachings powerfully fulfill the old testament law, and identify the broken human heart as the source of our sinful actions. We learn that Jesus himself is the remedy to our sins, and that the secret to holiness is living in the perfect will of God. Today's readings are Matthew 5-7, and Proverbs 18:21-24.

The Beatitudes of the Gospel are eight statements that our Lord taught within the context of the Sermon of the Mount (chapters 5-7 of St. Matthew). They are attitudes, ideals we have to aim for if we want to be true disciples of Christ. They portray, in some way, an image of Jesus Christ, they describe the heart of the Gospel. Those who live them out are “blessed”, they are favored by God, and will receive eternal happiness, the reward of Heaven. - ENKINDLE Conference – Information and how to register: https://www.mileschristi.org/event/enkindle/ - You can find the topics discussed in this episode in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, numbers 1716-1729. - Scripture References used in this episode: The “Beatitudes” (Mt 5:1-12; Lk 6:20-23) and the “Woes” (Lk 6:24-26). - Fr.
