#Blessed. You've seen it on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, millions of posts claiming blessing over everything from new cars to vacations to good hair days. But is that what it really means to be blessed?n this episode, we dig into Scripture to uncover what true blessedness actually is. Spoiler: it's not about what you have, what you achieve, or even who your family is. If you've ever wondered whether your life looks "blessed" enough, this episode will reframe everything. True blessedness isn't about what you gain. It's about who you know. Read more: https://kuzaapp.com/true-blessedness/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kuzaapp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kuzaapp Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kuzaapp Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kuza--3674993/support (https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kuza--3674993/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss) .

Pastor Bear Morton | 2 Corinthians 9:6-11

Take refuge in the Son, and experience the Blessedness of the Blessed Man.

Genesis 1:26-27 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image,     in the image of God he created them;     male and female he created them. LESSON NOTES & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Icebreaker: As you process through different transitions in your life (going to college, marriage, kids, new job, retirement, etc.), what were some of the joys and challenges of those seasons? The Beginning of Belonging. Each and every one of us was created to belong. We are biologically wired for it. In fact, humanity was created IN community (Genesis 1:26) and FOR community (Genesis 2:18). Question: In what spaces/areas is it the easiest for you to find connection/belonging? What spaces/areas have you found the greatest challenge? The Barriers to Belonging. Although we were created for community, our sin creates barriers to belonging for us and others. David Kim ("Made To Belong") identified four different "dysfunctional approaches to belonging". Those four dysfunctions are to be: avoidant, anxious, aggressive, or accommodating. Question: Of the four dysfunctions we discussed, which one do you resonate with the most? The Bridge to Belonging. Google defines a bridge as "a structure built over a river, road, or gap to help people and cars cross safely. As a verb, it means to connect two things or close a gap.” Bridges connect communities, countries, and continents. Because of humanity's sin in the garden we put a huge gap between us and God. Yet, by the grace and love of God, He gave us a Bridge. That Bridge is Jesus (John 14:6, Ephesians 2:12-13). Just as Jesus is a Bridge for us, the Holy Spirit equips us to be a bridge for others. Question: In what ways/environments has God gifted you/placed you to be a bridge for others to experience His goodness and His grace?   The Blessedness of Belonging. One day, all who belong to Jesus will be brought together for the greatest, longest, and most beautiful get together of all time (Revelation 19:6-9). As we sit in this place between the beginning of belonging in Eden and the ultimate blessedness of belonging in eternity, we remember this: We were made to belong. Question: How could this reminder be an encouragement to you as you live your day to day life?

The sermon explores the profound blessedness that comes from fearing the Lord and delighting in His commandments, as outlined in Psalm 112. It emphasizes that believers possess manifold spiritual and physical benefits in the present life through their union with Christ, rather than focusing solely on future glory. The preacher argues that obedience to God's law brings abundance and stability, contrasting the enduring legacy of the righteous with the fleeting nature of worldly wealth. Additionally, the text highlights the confidence and hope Christians have in facing hardship, assured by the ultimate triumph over adversity and the wicked. The message concludes with a call to gratitude for these current blessings and a reminder of the eternal judgment awaiting those who reject God.

The world tells us that “getting” and “receiving” leads to the greatest happiness and fulfillment. Jesus taught something different – “And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'” (Acts 20:35) What is the blessedness of giving?

beatitude: BLESSEDNESS (how to be blessed)BLESSED (Makarios) = FAVORED by God; divine happinessBlessed means HAPPINESS in spite of my CIRCUMSTANCES.Matthew 5:3-10 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.These blessed statements REVEAL where TRUE HAPPINESS is found.Matthew 5:3 NLT God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.Matthew 5:3 GWT Blessed are those who recognize they are spiritually helpless. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them. Matthew 5:3 CEV God blesses those people who depend only on him. They belong to the kingdom of heaven!Poor in spirit means accepting our spiritual BANKRUPTCY and complete DEPENDENCE on Jesus' forgiveness and grace.WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE POOR IN SPIRIT? 1. I admit that no amount of MATERIAL WEALTH will satisfy my soul.The MORE we have, the LESS we may think we need God. The LESS we have, the EASIER it can be to acknowledge our need for God.Matthew 19:23-24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”2. I admit that no amount of SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS will make me right with God.Matthew 7:22-23 MSG I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, ‘Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our super-spiritual projects had everyone talking.' And do you know what I am going to say? ‘You missed the boat. GOOD people don't go to heaven, FORGIVEN people do.Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.3. I admit that I am SPIRITUALLY BANKRUPT, and only JESUS can pay for my sins and make me whole.

God's great offer to mankind.The great message of the cross is forgiveness. And through forgiveness, peace. In this strife-torn, bitter, hatred-filled world of ours today, the cross makes peace in both directions: from man to God and from man to his fellow man.Support the show

All things are working in this present moment for good. I highly recommend this message for all who despair in this day. Such encouragement! And a perfect companion to my present video series on the Sovereignty of God. We are a called people...

Psalm 1 - Two Paths of Blessedness of Delighting in God's Torah - Steven Fresquez

Psalm 32 – David describes the blessedness of being forgiven by God and the need of trusting in God.  The 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting 10:16 mark.Being forgiven by God is a profound gift, and the Bible highlights the joy and freedom we receive through that forgiveness.  When we repent, God forgives us as He is merciful.  When we do not repent in front of others and God, it increases our stress and guilt as our heart becomes heavy.  David experienced the heaviness of heart when he hid his sin after arranging the death of the husband of Bathsheba(2nd Samuel chapter 11).  As God loved David, He sent Nathan to rebuke David for taking Bathsheba as his wife after arranging the death of her husband Uriah(2nd Samuel chapter 12). Through Nathan, God informed David about the punishment he had  to go through.  This led David to repentance.  The benefits of confessing our sins and the positive results of forgiving one another are discussed.My name...

This is another simple sermon in two parts. Whereas the previous sermon offered a stark contrast between the wages of sin and the gift of life, this provides a sequence. After an introduction in which Spurgeon suggests a difference between happiness and blessedness (the former being a good thing, but essentially being of this world, while the latter has a heavenly quality about it), he exposes the world's suggestions of where blessedness—true and lasting happiness—can be found. Then he turns us to the somewhat surprising text of James 1:12 to look at blessedness in this life and in the life to come. Yes, there are heavenly joys even now for the man who endures temptation—the man who, out of love to God, holds fast in the storm, and whose faith and hope and love are demonstrated to be real and true. And then there are joys to come, the crown of life which the Lord bestows upon those who do not turn away or fall away. Sustained and strengthened by his grace in Christ Jesus for every good work, their heavenly reward shall only make their appreciation of God's favour all the richer and riper. Spurgeon gets happily expansive, almost carried away, as he considers the blessedness of the blessed in the glory to come, urging all to make sure that they enjoy this crown, awaking in the likeness of Jesus Christ, our resurrected Lord and King.

Matthew 5:3-12 When it comes to "living the revolution" the question arises - for whom is the revolution good news? Who gets to join in - and who is excluded? So, from the outset of His revolutionary invitation, Jesus makes it clear - even those who have been discarded and set aside socio-culturally are able to join Him in turning the world right side up. But, it will come at cost - they, once joined, can no longer define themselves by exclusion! Qualification is in Jesus' hands - not theirs. And so is the mission to which He sends us.
