What does it mean to be meek in a world that demands strength? Can gentleness and warfare coexist? In this episode, we explore the biblical concept of ‛ănâvâh — often translated as gentleness, humility, or meekness — and how it reveals a strength that doesn't shout, but stands firm. Drawing from both Hebrew and Greek roots, we'll see how Scripture paints meekness not as weakness, but as power under control — the kind of strength that pursues justice, stands boldly in truth, and yet walks humbly with God. You'll hear reflections on: •2 Samuel 22 — where God's gentleness makes us great even in the midst of battle   •Psalm 45 & 149 — showing how humility and righteousness are weapons of the King   •The life of Yeshua (Jesus) — who rode a donkey, washed feet, and was crucified in humility, yet confronted hypocrites with fearless clarity   •Practical wisdom from Paul and others — on restoring others, resolving conflict, and walking in unity with a spirit of meekness   We'll also share a personal story — how my father modeled humility not with grand words, but with quiet strength and patience. He didn't "put on airs" — and that left a lasting legacy.

The sermon centers on the transformative power of meekness as a divine antidote to anxiety and anger, rooted in Scripture's promise that the meek shall increase in joy and inherit God's favor. It emphasizes that meekness, a fruit of the Holy Spirit, is not weakness but a disciplined humility that enables restoration, wisdom, and spiritual maturity, exemplified in Christ's lowly spirit. Drawing from Galatians 5, James 3, and 1 Timothy 6, the message underscores that meekness is essential for genuine Christian character and effective ministry, particularly in bearing one another's burdens. The sermon then pivots to the practical antidote to anxiety—prayer—illustrating how Paul, imprisoned and awaiting death, commanded believers to be anxious for nothing, trusting God with every burden. Through powerful testimonies of families wrestling with troubled children, the preacher demonstrates that surrendering loved ones to God in prayer, like Abraham offering Isaac, releases anxiety and invites divine peace, which surpasses understanding and guards the heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Edward and Barbara shared insights on biblical passages, highlighting humility, dependence on God, and spiritual growth through the Holy Spirit.

Join Pastor Stuart for the last lesson in our series, The Good Life, about following Jesus. This week, we turn to Matthew 5:5 to learn about . . . "The Good Life". In this lesson, we learn: According to Jesus, the meek have the “good life." “Meek” refers to those who are humble, gentle, and willing to lay aside their rights and desires for a greater good. Jesus is the perfect example of this kind of meekness. The blessing Jesus promises the meek is the inheritance of the earth. So let's ask the Spirit to produce Christ-like meekness in our lives.

James 3:13-18. Rev. Ben Cunningham. Recorded live at Church of the Resurrection in New Orleans, LA on August 10, 2025.

The world says: It's my way or the highway.Jesus says: Blessed are the meek.The world says: Meekness is weakness.Jesus says:  Blessed are the humble, the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.Jesus' teachings in the Beatitudes seem countercultural, the opposite of what the world says. The world sees meekness as a hindrance, allowing others to overrule us, but Jesus tells us that true meekness, submitting to God's authority, brings true freedom. Join us to see how submission leads to freedom in the Good Life.

Matthew 5:5“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” English Standard Version (ESV)The Holy Bible, English Standard Version. ESV® Text Edition: 2016. Copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

In this week's Leadership Lessons, we reflect on Matthew 5:5: “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” Meekness is not weakness, it's inner confidence in God that produces humility, security, and true strength. The world tells us to build our own confidence to get ahead; Jesus calls us to lay down self-reliance so He can form unshakable trust in Him. Pastor Kevin Myers reminds us that when our confidence is rooted in Christ, we don't have to grasp for recognition, push for influence, or cling to resources. We lead from rest, stewarding our gifts in step with the Spirit because the Holy Spirit is drawn to meekness.

Wow. Ladies and gentlemen, taking these virtues to heart and making them our plan of action never felt more obvious. Controversially, they feel absolutely counter intuitive, even wrong in defense of ourselves. Join us as we discover the freedom of living virtue as Christ intended, and the security of practically depending on Jesus as our plan of defense. This one has me humbled. Listen in.

Today, examine your heart in light of Jesus, asking God to shape you with deeper humility, fervent love, and genuine faith so that when you are weighed on his scales, you are not found wanting. -------- Thank you for listening! Your support of Joni and Friends helps make this show possible.     Joni and Friends envisions a world where every person with a disability finds hope, dignity, and their place in the body of Christ.

2 Samuel 16 In this week's message, Pastor Scott walks us through the painful moment in 2 Samuel 16 when David, broken and weeping, is cursed and attacked by Shimei. Though falsely accused and humiliated, David refuses to retaliate, modeling meekness and trust in God's sovereignty. Instead of lashing out in anger or defending his reputation, David accepts that even unjust suffering can be used by God for redemptive purposes. Pastor Scott challenges us to consider our own “Shimei moments” — those times when we're hurt, misunderstood, or slandered — and to respond not with bitterness, but with forgiveness, humility, and dependence on the Lord. Meekness is not weakness; it is power surrendered in trust to God. Like David, we too can find refreshment in God's presence, even when wounded. As Colossians reminds us, we are called to bear with one another and forgive as the Lord forgave us.

This sermon from Esther 5:1–14 was preached on August 3, 2025 by Brett Lewis as part of the sermon series "For Such a Time as This."

In this sermon, pastor Adam Powers (Sonrise Community Church, in New Port Richey, Florida) reminds us that a posture of meekness is possible because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because he is strong, we are free to be meek, trusting that he will not only protect and preserve us but also vindicate us.

This week Steve taught about the wilderness wanderings and how we can learn from Moses and Jesus to defeat the pride of grumbling. 

Meekness is not weakness – it's about actively living a life fully surrendered to Jesus' will for our lives. In this message, Pastor continues his teaching on Matthew 5, exploring verse 5 "blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." Showing true meekness can transform our relationship with God and impact the community we are part of.

In a world that often celebrates aggression, dominance, and self-promotion, Jesus highlights the quiet strength of meekness — a power under control, rooted in humility and trust in God. This verse reminds us that true influence and lasting impact don’t come through force, but through a surrendered heart. God promises that the meek, though overlooked by many, will one day inherit everything He’s prepared for His people. Visit us online at: RenewalChurch.net

Pastor Lisa teaches through James 3:13-18 - The Meekness of Wisdom

In this episode we look at what meekness truly is and why the misunderstanding of it has greatly hindered and harmed the modern church. We look at how meekness is used by God to expertly train us for the spiritual war that we're daily engaged in. We look at Moses and Jesus and see what we can learn from the meekness they showed forth in their life. Meekness is a fruit of the Spirit and we'll find if we cultivate it properly, it'll bring with it peace and joy into our life!

Meekness can be described as quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive. Those are typically not words you would want to be described as, but that's exactly how Jesus lived His life. Today, Pastor Johnny will remind you that meekness doesn't mean weakness. If you want to live a life according to Jesus, you have to remain meek.
