A Blessed Life In A Broken World - Psalm 112 - Dr. Darrin Wright

What does it really mean to be a peacemaker in a world filled with conflict? The answer might surprise you. When Jesus declared, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” He wasn't calling us to avoid conflict at all costs—He was inviting us into a revolutionary way of engaging with a fractured and hurting world.The Greek word for peacemaker (eirēnopoios) appears only once in Scripture and describes someone who “bravely declares God's terms and makes others whole.” This definition challenges the passive view of peace many of us hold. Jesus Himself said He came not to bring peace but a sword, revealing that true reconciliation sometimes requires confrontation. As the ultimate peacemaker, He overturned tables in the temple and rebuked religious leaders, showing that addressing injustice is essential to genuine peace.This teaching explores three dimensions of biblical peacemaking. First, peace within ourselves, modeled by Jesus sleeping through a raging storm while His disciples panicked. Second, peace between people, demonstrated when Jesus crossed cultural boundaries to speak with the Samaritan woman at the well. Third, peace between humanity and God, accomplished through Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection. Each dimension shows that real peace demands courage, intentionality, and a readiness to step into difficult conversations for the sake of restoration.The early church embodied this radical approach to peace through its diverse leadership and inclusive fellowship. From Pentecost onward, God's people were called to break down racial, social, and cultural barriers through unity in Christ. Like leaven working through dough, this Kingdom peace transforms from the inside out—changing hearts, shaping communities, and ultimately influencing the world. As James writes, “A harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”This session invites you to embrace that calling—to step beyond comfort, speak truth in love, and become an active participant in God's redemptive work of reconciliation.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

In this timely and Spirit-breathed message, Pastor Putnam unpacks the life-changing truths of the Beatitudes in a sermon titled “Living the Blessed Life.” Drawing from Matthew 5, he reminds us that the blessed life isn't marked by comfort, possessions, or applause—but by humility, mercy, purity, and spiritual hunger. With powerful clarity and practical application, Pastor Putnam walks us through what it truly means to be “blessed” in the eyes of God. From embracing meekness to choosing peace over pride, mourning over sin, and standing firm in persecution, this message challenges us to reevaluate what we pursue and how we live in a culture obsessed with self-promotion and superficial success. This isn't just a call to blessing—it's a call to transformation. Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned saint, this episode will stir your soul, align your priorities, and inspire you to live a life that Heaven calls “blessed.” To hear more about what God is doing in Sheboygan County and beyond, visit us at posc.church!

What if you could stop struggling to feel “spiritual enough” and start experiencing God through simple, honest connection? In this transformative session on Matthew 5:8—“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”—Brian Durfee unpacks Jesus's radical redefinition of spiritual blessing and shows how purity of heart is rooted not in perfection, but in relationship.When Jesus spoke the Beatitudes, He wasn't addressing the religious elite. He was speaking to the common, overlooked people of Galilee—those who had been dismissed as spiritually unqualified. By calling them blessed, Jesus shattered conventional religious thinking. He revealed that God's favor isn't reserved for those with external success or spiritual credentials, but for those whose hearts are open and aligned with Him.The key revelation in this teaching is liberating: purity is not something we achieve by religious effort, but something we receive through relational abiding. Drawing from Jesus's words in John 15 about the vine and the branches, Brian reminds us that branches don't struggle to produce fruit—they simply stay connected to the source. In the same way, “we become pure by staying close, not by trying harder.”This insight changes how we view spiritual disciplines. Reading Scripture becomes less about fulfilling a checklist and more about encountering God in His Word. Prayer becomes less formal and more honest—an ongoing conversation with the One who already knows what's in our hearts. Even small prayers like “God, give me the want to”—prayed in moments of dryness—can spark real transformation and renew our desire for His presence.This session invites you to stop pretending with God and start being present with Him. It's in those real, unguarded moments that we begin to see Him more clearly. As Brother Lawrence observed in Practicing the Presence of God, acknowledging Christ's presence in the ordinary moments of life can reshape our entire spiritual experience.Through this class, you'll discover that a purified heart comes not from striving, but from abiding—and that the promise of “seeing God” is not only about eternity but about recognizing His nearness in the present. The door to experiencing Him is not locked by your past or your performance; it is opened through your presence with Him.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

What does it truly mean to be merciful? In this powerful session on the fifth Beatitude—“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy”—Hannah Silverberg leads us into a deeper understanding of how this seemingly simple statement holds profound implications for our spiritual lives and relationships.She begins by addressing a common misunderstanding: the belief that we earn God's mercy by showing mercy to others. Quoting Charles Spurgeon, she clarifies that the Beatitudes aren't a list of salvation requirements but a description of the heart of someone already transformed by grace. Our ability to show mercy doesn't qualify us for mercy—it flows from having already received it.From there, the session unfolds around three vital truths about biblical mercy. First, mercy costs. It goes far beyond mere sympathy; it acknowledges real wrong and pain and chooses to bear the cost instead of demanding payback. Jesus modeled this perfectly—He taught about mercy knowing it would cost Him the cross. Likewise, our mercy may cost us emotionally, relationally, or materially. But it never compromises God's holiness. As Hannah notes, “To be passive to sin that will send people to hell is not godly mercy—it's fear of man. And to be passionate against sin and not brokenhearted for the sinner is not godly justice—it's pride.”Second, mercy heals. It doesn't just bring peace to the person we forgive—it also brings freedom to our own hearts. When we release bitterness, we open space for God's healing to take root. Through powerful real-life examples—including courtroom moments where families forgive the very people who took their loved ones—Hannah shows how mercy can break cycles of pain and set both the wounded and the wrongdoer on a path to healing.Finally, mercy transforms. Looking at the life of Peter—from his proud declaration of loyalty to his devastating denial and ultimate restoration by Jesus—we see how mercy didn't just forgive him, it changed him. Christ's mercy took a broken, fearful man and transformed him into a bold apostle willing to die for the gospel. “The mercy of Christ transformed Peter,” Hannah reminds us, “and the mercy of Christ transforms us.”This session concludes with the encouraging truth that we can never out-give God's mercy. Every act of mercy we offer is rooted in what we've already received, and as we pour it out, God is faithful to fill us again.Are you ready to experience mercy as more than a concept—as a powerful force that heals, restores, and reshapes your life? Come explore how receiving and giving mercy can deepen your walk with Christ and transform the way you respond to a broken world.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

Ps Dan shares a message from Matthew 5

I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :)The world might define a “blessed life” as having the perfect house, a hefty bank account, dream vacations, and getting everything you've ever desired.And, while that is a version of a blessed life that God could gift to you, biblically speaking, a blessed life isn't measured by material things or successes—it's measured by God's presence, peace, purpose, and promises in your life.Let's redefine “BLESSED” because, according to the Bible, you might be more blessed than you think.

Send me a Text Message!I'm taking a bit of a break as a reward for 100k downloads and as a pause during my vacation. But during this week+ break, I'm reposting some Psalms that I've chosen, specifically to hit some themes of our current series, "A Life of Prayer." The themes include scripture, prayer, trusting God, and thriving. In Psalm 1 word that I cannot escape in Psalm 1 is the word "blessing." Psalm 1 is a description of the blessed life, the way of blessing, like a tree planted by the streams, roots deep, full of fruit, thriving. We'll take some time in this episode and ponder the path of blessing as it's described in Psalm 1!

What do you truly hunger for? In this study of Matthew 5:6, we uncover the powerful distinction between worldly happiness and divine satisfaction. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied” isn't just a religious sentiment—it's a revolutionary approach to fulfillment that directly contradicts our culture's relentless pursuit of happiness through acquisition and self-gratification.The world constantly tells us that happiness comes through possessions, status, and doing whatever feels good regardless of consequences. But Jesus offers a radically different perspective. When He uses “blessed” in these Beatitudes, He's describing a true, lasting joy that only comes as a byproduct of pursuing something greater—righteousness itself. This isn't about rule-following or religious perfectionism; it's about hungering for right relationship with God with the same intensity we feel when physically starving.Think about this: most of us would never consider feeding our physical bodies just once a week, yet many believers attempt to sustain their spiritual lives on nothing more than a weekly church service. We meticulously plan three meals daily for our bodies while allowing our spirits to starve. As the teaching reminds us, “What you feed grows, and what you starve dies.” Which appetite are you feeding—your flesh or your spirit?Pursuing righteousness means actively making time to engage with Scripture until it transforms you from within, surrounding yourself with others who share your spiritual hunger, and specifically asking God to reveal unhealthy appetites while increasing your desire for Him. The beautiful promise attached to this Beatitude isn't that you'll get everything you want—it's that your deepest soul hunger will finally be satisfied through right relationship with God. Will you join us in this countercultural pursuit of hungering for what truly satisfies?We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

Psalm 84 - Speaker: Jon Kopp - If the famous words of Psalm 42, "Why are you downcast, oh my soul?" reflect the straining and strugglings of our relationship with God yet unfulfilled, Psalm 84 reflects the straining and strengthenings of our relationship with God fulfilled. "How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts.” But, don't rush ahead too quickly. Psalm 84 is not as neat and tidy as we'd like it to be. There's still longing. Still difficulty. Still the tension of living in a world that is not yet made whole. We often assume the blessed life is about getting what we think we want, but the more we listen to the words of Psalm 84, the more we the more we realize that the blessed life isn't about getting everything we think we want—it's about getting God. The good life is found in Him. Those who desire Him, pursue Him and trust Him are blessed.

Sovereign Grace Bible Church of Ada, OK

The blessed life, as described in Psalm 1, is a life rooted in delighting in God's Word, avoiding ungodly influences, and trusting in Christ's righteousness, producing lasting fruit and prosperity that endures beyond life's fleeting snapshots into the eternal panorama of God's favor.

What if everything the world teaches about power, strength, and victory is completely backward? In this illuminating study of Matthew 5:5, we explore Jesus's counterintuitive words: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”Our culture prizes self-assertion, conquest, and control. The philosophy of the world could be summed up in the oft-quoted (though misattributed) line: “When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.” This mindset—take until nothing is left to take, conquer until there is no one left to conquer—is deeply ingrained in human nature. But in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus flips this value system on its head.The original audience would have found His words shocking. The Jewish people had lived under centuries of oppression—first by Babylon, then Assyria, Greece, and Rome. They knew firsthand the brutality of a dog-eat-dog world. To hear “blessed are the meek” would have sounded nonsensical. Meekness wasn't strength in their eyes; it seemed like surrender. Yet Jesus calls His followers to embrace a radically different posture.So what does meekness actually mean? Contrary to modern assumptions, it is not weakness, passivity, or being a pushover. Biblical meekness—praus in Greek—is strength under God's control, a quiet and gentle confidence born from deep trust in the Lord. It is not self-assertiveness or self-interest but a Spirit-led disposition that accepts God's dealings as good, without disputing or resisting. Meekness requires removing ourselves from the throne of our lives and yielding to God's kingship.We see this illustrated in Moses, who was described as “very meek, more than all the people who were on the face of the earth” (Numbers 12:3). When his leadership was challenged, Moses didn't defend himself or fight for his position. Instead, he trusted God to act on his behalf and even interceded for his sister when she was struck with leprosy. Abraham showed similar meekness in allowing Lot to choose the best land first, and David displayed it when he turned to the Lord for strength instead of defending himself against his own men.But the ultimate example of meekness is Jesus Himself. During His wilderness temptation, He refused shortcuts to glory and submitted fully to the Father's plan. On Palm Sunday, riding humbly into Jerusalem on a donkey, Jesus revealed both humility and authority. In Gethsemane, He prayed, “Not my will, but Yours be done,” willingly surrendering to the Father's will even though it meant the agony of the cross. Meekness doesn't mean weakness—it means incredible strength restrained in perfect trust.This third Beatitude reveals a beautiful spiritual progression: first, we recognize our spiritual poverty (poor in spirit); then, we mourn over our sin and find comfort in Christ; now, as we submit to God's sovereign will, we embrace meekness and receive the promise that we will inherit the earth.Inheritance is key here. Unlike the world's way—where you take, fight, and grab for power—this is something given, not earned. Inheriting the earth means receiving what belongs to Christ as co-heirs with Him. It points both to a present reality and a future hope. Even now, as citizens of God's kingdom, we can rest in His provision. One day, in the “not yet,” we will fully receive our portion in the new heavens and new earth, where all things aWe are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

We've been told that a great life is a comfortable life with comfortable circumstances, but a truly blessed life is a life in harmony with God and God's word. To prosper in all you do in life—and to experience God's loving embrace on the day of judgement—sing the psalms day and night.I. Sing the Psalms, day and nightII. Sing the Psalms, day and night, so that you will prosper in all that you do in this lifeIII. Sing the Psalms, day and night, so that you will prosper in all that you do in life—and experience God's loving embrace on the day of judgement. Discussion questions:1. According to scripture, what does it mean to live a “blessed life”, and how does that differ from the version of blessing often presented by our culture?2. Psalm 1 warns against “walking in the counsel of the wicked.” What are some modern ways we might unknowingly absorb ungodly counsel, and how can we guard against it?3. How does singing or meditating on the Psalms shape our hearts to be “in tune” with God's purposes, even during times of suffering or hardship?4. How can we balance the call to spiritual disciplines (like singing the Psalms) with the gospel truth that Jesus has already fulfilled the law on our behalf?5. In what ways can your small group or your family make singing or meditating on the Psalms a regular part of life this summer?

Message by Pastor J.J. Stanbridge Text: Matthew 5:1-16 The post The Blessed Life appeared first on Flint Hill Baptist Church.

What does it truly mean to mourn in a way that brings blessing? In this profound exploration of the second Beatitude, we discover that godly grief reaches far beyond merely feeling sad about circumstances—it's about recognizing sin for what it truly is and experiencing the transformative comfort that only God can provide.Through the contrasting stories of King Saul and King David, we witness two fundamentally different responses to confrontation about sin. Saul's desperate grasping at Samuel's cloak represents worldly grief focused on consequences rather than true repentance. David's straightforward confession—“I have sinned against the Lord”—shows us genuine godly sorrow that leads to restoration.The spiritual posture of mourning invites us to stop whitewashing our sin like the Pharisees' “whitewashed tombs” and instead to acknowledge our brokenness before a holy God. This vulnerability opens the door to experiencing God's comfort—not as mere emotional soothing but as profound peace through reconciliation.Just as Jesus restored Peter after his denial and healed the woman who touched his garment in faith, God extends comfort to those who mourn with honest hearts. Through Christ's sacrifice, the veil has been torn, granting us direct access to God's comforting presence even in our darkest moments.The ultimate hope for mourners lies in Revelation's promise of a new creation where God “will wipe away every tear” and where “mourning, crying, and pain” will be no more. This is our destination—a place where godly grief completes its transformative work and gives way to eternal comfort.Have you allowed yourself to truly mourn your sin rather than merely its consequences? How might embracing godly grief lead you to experience God's comfort in ways that superficial happiness never could?We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

Scripture: Psalm 1; Series: Psalms for the Summer; Speaker: Monte French, Senior Minister

Date : Fri, 20 Jun 2025 Speaker : Ash Sheikh Shiyam Azar (Hashimi) at Kollupitty Jumuah Masjid, Colombo 03 Language : Tamil

What does Jesus mean when He declares, “Blessed are the poor in spirit”? Through a powerful opening story about bringing water and the gospel to a remote Ghanaian village, we discover that spiritual poverty has nothing to do with material circumstances and everything to do with recognized dependence on God.True spiritual poverty isn't about physical lack, emotional distress, or natural personality traits. Rather, it's a divine work of the Holy Spirit that begins at spiritual rebirth and grows as we walk with Christ. Those who are poor in spirit acknowledge their emptiness without God and hold fast to Him through life's darkest valleys.The biblical examples paint vivid portraits of spiritual poverty in action. We witness Jacob's transformation at the Jabbok River, where he emptied himself and emerged with a new identity and walk. We see David in crisis at Ziklag, choosing to seek divine guidance before taking action. We hear Peter's desperate confession when others abandoned Jesus: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”What makes this teaching so revolutionary is its promise—the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who recognize their need. While crowds remained comfortably at the mountain's base, only the disciples—those hungry enough to make the climb—heard these transformative words. The kingdom isn't a distant reality but the present reign of God in surrendered hearts.Like David's prayer in Psalm 86, we acknowledge: “Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.” This posture of dependence isn't weakness but the pathway to experiencing God's strength. Will you join those climbing the mountain, recognizing your spiritual need and embracing the kingdom that awaits those who know they can't make it on their own?We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

The transformative power of Jesus's ministry in Galilee reveals the heart of God's redemptive plan. This session begins with a moving story of a young girl named Emma who was rescued from neglect through adoption, drawing profound parallels to our spiritual condition before Christ. Just as Emma was unresponsive and developmentally behind but flourished under loving care, we too were once spiritually dormant until God's love awakened us.Our study of Matthew 4:23-25 takes us through Jesus's extensive travels across Galilee—an area comparable to modern-day Knoxville with roughly 300,000 inhabitants—where he taught in synagogues, proclaimed the good news, and performed miraculous healings. His ministry drew massive crowds from Syria, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan as news spread of his compassionate power to heal every disease and affliction.Looking deeper, we explore God's unwavering commitment to humanity through a series of expanding covenants—from Adam to Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David—each preparing the way for the ultimate New Covenant established through Jesus. Unlike previous agreements that were limited in scope, this final covenant is rooted in love, sealed by Jesus's sacrificial death, and offers complete restoration of relationship with God.The miracles Jesus performed weren't merely displays of power but tangible expressions of divine love. When he healed the sick or freed those oppressed by demons, Jesus was revealing God's desire for wholeness in every life. Consider the woman who touched his garment after years of suffering—one of the rare moments in Scripture where Jesus “stopped,” sensing healing power flow from him to someone in desperate need.Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or seeking to deepen your spiritual understanding, this session offers a compelling reminder: at the heart of Christianity lies not rules or religion, but a relationship built on the transformative, adopting love of God.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

Matthew 5:3-12 / Pastor Christian Simas

Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | Psalm 1 introduces the entire book of Psalms, all 150 chapters, around the idea of what it means to be "blessed." The psalmist shows us that when it comes to blessing, there are only two distinct paths of life, two distinct experiences, and two distinct destinies. There is no 'middle ground' to spiritually, an underlying principle that resonates through every psalm.
