Podcasts about blessedness

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.

The Blessedness of Seeking God by David Antwi

From the 2026 EFCA Theology Conference, Dr. Geoff Chang—professor of historical theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary—unpacks the doctrine of heaven and eternal blessedness by looking to the historical consensus of the Church.

What does it mean to be "blessed"? Blessedness doesn't come from shiny cars or luxurious homes. Today, Jesus invites us to slow down and take in his promises, realizing just how blessed we are through his Word. Message by Pastor Joel Heckendorf is based on Psalm 1:1--2.

What does it really mean to be blessed? Is happiness found in success, comfort, or wealth—or somewhere else entirely? In Psalm 1, God sets before us two paths, two influences, and two outcomes. This sermon calls us to examine what shapes our lives, where our delight truly lies, and how real, lasting fruit is found—not through effort, but through delighting in God's Word and abiding in Christ, the true blessed man.#Psalm1 #BlessedLife #DelightInTheLord #TwoWays #FruitfulLife #MeditateOnTheWord #ChristAlone #HoriconBaptistChurch #FaithAndLife

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. By Bill Dogterom

This message was delivered during our Sunday morning service on January 4, 2025. The text being expounded is Psalm 32.   To learn more about Tabernacle or access more resources, visit https://www.tabernaclebaptistchurch.com/. 

The Blessedness of Forgiveness

Book of Jonah, Pt. 3 – Blessedness of Rock BottomJonah 3:1-10 | King's Chapel Live StreamJonah's story takes a powerful turn in chapter 3. After running and being rescued, Jonah finally obeys God's call and what happens next is nothing short of miraculous.Through a reluctant prophet and a simple message, God brings an entire city to repentance. From the king on the throne to the animals in the fields, Nineveh humbles itself before the Lord. And in His mercy, God relents.Jonah 3 reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace. He is a God of second chances, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. When we turn from sin and turn to Him, we find forgiveness, restoration, and hope.If you've ever wondered whether God can still use you after failure or reach someone who seems too far gone, this message will remind you: He can, and He does.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborJonah 3 sermon, repentance and mercy, God relents Jonah, King's Chapel Longwood FL, Jonah Bible study, second chances with God, grace and repentance, Jonah preaching to Nineveh, God's compassion and forgiveness, gospel in Jonah, restoration and grace

Welcome to our Reveal podcast,Today's is both sobering and full of hope, Blessedness or Condemnation.every person walks one of two paths. Blessedness is the state of being in right relationship with God  walking in His light, forgiven through Christ, and filled with His Spirit. Psalm 1 paints this picture beautifully: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, but delights in the law of the Lord.”To be blessed is not just to have good things happen it's to be anchored in God's presence, to experience peace, purpose, and eternal life through Jesus Christ.On the other side is condemnation, which Scripture describes as the natural result of sin and separation from God. John 3:18 says, “Whoever does not believe stands condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.” Condemnation isn't God's desire it's the outcome of rejecting His gift of grace.The good news? Jesus came to remove condemnation. Romans 8:1 declares, “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Through faith in Him, we move from judgment to mercy, from death to life, from darkness to blessedness.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, click here:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard

Book of Jonah, Pt. 2 – Blessedness of Rock BottomJonah 1:17–2:10 | King's Chapel Live StreamSometimes the greatest blessing comes when we hit the bottom.In Jonah 2, we find Jonah swallowed by a great fish and brought face to face with his own weakness, rebellion, and need for mercy. But even there, in the depths, God is at work. He hears Jonah's cry, rescues him from despair, and reminds him that salvation belongs to the Lord.Rock bottom becomes the place where Jonah remembers the grace of God—the same grace that pursues us when we run and meets us when we fall.If you have ever felt trapped by failure or wondered if God still hears you, Jonah 2 will remind you that His mercy meets us at our lowest and lifts us toward life again.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborJonah 2 sermon, Jonah prayer from the fish, God's mercy in rock bottom, King's Chapel Longwood FL, Jonah Bible study, salvation belongs to the Lord, running from God, God's grace and rescue, Jonah and the great fish, gospel in the Old Testament, finding God in failure

In this powerful scene from John 13, Jesus—fully aware that the Father had given all things into His hands—rises from supper, lays aside His garments, and kneels to wash His disciples' feet. In this single, scandalous act of humility, the Sovereign King of creation becomes the servant of sinners.This sermon invites us to marvel at the love of Christ—“having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end”—and to see how His love redefines greatness, power, and joy. As we watch Him stoop low to serve, we're confronted with the question: If the Master has done this for us, how can we not serve one another?John's Gospel shifts here from the “Book of Signs” to the “Book of Glory,” and in this moment, the glory of Christ shines brightest—not in splendor, but in humility. Through His love, His example, and His charge to His disciples, Jesus shows us that the way of blessing is the way of the servant.
