Matt 5:3-10

Matthew 5 +++ EMBRACEEVV.COM
"How's your son?" "Oh, you know. He's doing better." What else can you say? That the person you raised doesn't exist anymore? That you cry yourself to sleep missing someone who called you yesterday? There's no bereavement leave for losing someone to addiction. No support group for this specific wound. Just silence and the expectation that you'll keep showing up while bleeding invisibly. Rob and Michele Reiner spent seventeen years inside that silence. They watched Nick disappear — not all at once, but in a slow vanishing where the son they loved was replaced by someone they couldn't reach and eventually feared. They built frameworks to survive it. Trust the professionals. Then the professionals are wrong. Then redemption through art — a movie made together, press tours about healing. Then closer supervision, a guesthouse, more structure. Each framework had its own logic. Each one kept them in proximity to someone who was destroying them. Nick admitted he wasn't sober during the recovery film. He gamed every rehab. He destroyed their guesthouse. He stole pills from sick people. And still the narrative held: he's not bad, he's sick. That narrative isn't delusion. It's the story your brain constructs when the truth is unsurvivable. Rob told friends he was petrified of Nick. That's a man who saw reality clearly and couldn't act on it — because acting meant letting go of the last thread of hope. Every time Nick showed a glimpse of the person he used to be, the grief reactivated. Every relapse sharpened the absence. Hope became the cruelest part of the cycle. This episode is about ambiguous loss — the grief no one validates because the person is still alive. It's real. The person you loved existed. Their disappearance deserves to be mourned. And the lies you told yourself to survive it deserve to be forgiven.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #TrueCrime #AmbiguousLoss #GrievingTheLiving #AddictionFamily #InvisibleGrief #SurvivalMechanisms #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In Matthew's account of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus shifts from healing bodies to shaping hearts. As crowds begin to gather around His miracles, He pivots, offering the Beatitudes as “preventative medicine” for the soul. In Matthew 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn,” Jesus promises nearness to the brokenhearted, which is a far more […]

Message #2 by Pastor Doug Corlew - "The Beatitudes" Sermon Series
As we continue in our series on the Beatitudes, we focus on the second beatitude. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." As we look at the context of Matthew 5:3 & 4, it would make sense that when we are 'poor in spirit' that we would naturally mourn due to the depth of our lostness. But is it as simple as that? Don't parents mourn for the sins of their children? Will not God also comfort them? To bring ourselves to a deeper understanding of this concept, we look at 1 Samuel chapter 16 to a view of mourning and God's comfort, as we look at the expectations of Hannah, Samuel and David and their subsequent grief and God's comfort.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach reflects on the way we respond to tragedy in a culture that often filters every story through politics. He explores what it means to grieve genuinely, mourn deeply, and let our hearts be broken by the loss of life. Along the way, he challenges listeners to pause, reflect, and seek transformation in how we engage with the world and each other.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

Continuing on after Jesus started doing his thing around Galilee. The crowds gathered around Jesus. These people were hurting - they were the "least of these," as Jesus says in other places. He looks at this crowd and says they are blessed. We'll talk about what that word "blessed" means - and meant in their context. Calling that crowd - full of THOSE people - it didn't make sense for them to be called blessed. This whole thing doesn't feel right - seems backwards. Blessed are the poor in spirit. If you've got nothing left in the tank, here's the good news. God is with you. God is on your side. You've got nothing left of your own resources - nothing to keep God from pouring the Spirit into your life. Blessed are those who mourn. Again - sounds backward. Why? Because we now feel what God feels. We are now living in solidarity with the Divine. Blessed are the meek. Yeah, super backward. The meek get trampled on in our world. Well, maybe - maybe not. That word "meek" doesn't mean "weak" as we've come to understand it. It means "power restrained." We're familiar with a very relevant current example of this. When the non-violent protest kind of power restrained is met with violence, the ugliness of violence is seen for what it really us. Evil. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Jesus calls "blessed" those who look at what's wrong in the world and put their back into making it right again. Jesus calls "blessed" those in this world who work for justice for all people.

This episode is a deep dive into a simple claim: This is the year the mask slipped. The United States has decided that the grand bargain it presided over since 1945 is finished, and the consequences are immediate for markets, alliances, and Europe's security. We begin in Japan, where a sharp move in long-term government bond yields is forcing a rethink of the global carry trade, and shaking risk assets worldwide. Then we go to Davos, where Mark Carney frames the moment as a “rupture, not a transition,” arguing that integration has become a weapon: tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities. We unpack the post-war deal: America as global policeman, underwriting security in Europe and East Asia, and what America got in return. Then we examine the new reality: tariffs on allies, closeness to rivals, and a Europe that may no longer accept subordination, with Greenland/“the Battle of Nuuk” emerging as the flashpoint that could make the break irreversible. Part one ends with the biggest question of all: if the unipolar world is over, what replaces it? Part two next week looks at Ireland, a country with a profound vested interest in the status quo, now facing its end. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Do you mourn over your sin? Pastor Lance shows how Scripture is clear that God requires repentance: a godly sorrow over sin, and a change of will to turn from sin and to God. For more messages and resources, visit us at www.ccc-online.org.
Blessed Are — Part 1: Blessed Are Those Who Mourn Description: In Part 1 of Blessed Are, Pastor Eric opens the Beatitudes by slowing down on one of Jesus' most counterintuitive promises: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). This message clarifies that mourning isn't only about grief after loss—though Jesus absolutely meets us there. It is also, and most importantly, about mourning over sin: seeing our fallenness clearly, becoming broken before God, and running to the only Savior who can forgive, cleanse, and comfort. From James 4, John 6, John 10, Psalm 42, and Lamentations, Eric shows that the path to comfort is not denial, self-justification, or religious performance. Comfort comes through surrender—submitting to God, resisting the devil, drawing near to the Lord, and letting repentance become honest sorrow rather than shallow regret. Eric also addresses why sin is tempting “for a season,” why it always damages the soul, and why God's heart toward the repentant is not condemnation but restoration. The message then widens to the other “layers” of mourning: death, broken relationships, dashed dreams, wounds no one sees, and the long ache of grief that can feel like waves and billows rolling over the soul. In those places, believers are called to expect Jesus in their grief—to lament, to hope, to wait quietly, and to receive God's lovingkindness that holds steady in the dark. Finally, Eric calls the church to live as Christ's body: God comforts by His Spirit, and He comforts through His people. We are meant to carry comfort to one another—praying, showing up, and becoming tangible reminders that mourners are not alone. Key Scriptures (NKJV): Matthew 5:4; James 4:7–10; Hebrews 11:24–27; John 6:35–40; Matthew 11:28–30; John 10:27–30; Psalm 42:1–7; Lamentations 3:22–26; 2 Corinthians 1:3–4; Romans 10:13. Highlights: “Blessed are those who mourn” has layers, but it begins with mourning over sin. Repentance isn't humiliation—it's the doorway to comfort, cleansing, and freedom. Sin is pleasurable “for a season,” but it always wounds the soul and harms others. God does not discipline to demean; He draws sinners in to restore them. Jesus' comfort is not an empty offer—He keeps His promises: “I will by no means cast out.” Salvation is receiving a gift, not earning a reward—religion says “perform,” Christ says “receive.” Assurance for believers: Jesus holds His sheep, and no one can pluck them from His hand. Grief is real and biblical: Psalm 42 gives language for sorrow, tears, questions, and hope. Lament is not unbelief—it is faith speaking honestly in pain. God's mercies are new every morning; the call is to get up again and hope in Him. The church is called to comfort one another with the comfort we've received from God. Next Steps: Ask God to show you which kind of mourning you need right now—and respond with one concrete act of faith. If you're mourning over sin: confess it plainly, turn from it, and come to Jesus for cleansing. If you're mourning loss: lament honestly, bring your questions to God, and ask Him to meet you in the waves. If you're stuck in cycles: thank God you got up again, then take one next step toward freedom. If someone near you is mourning: obey the nudge—pray, reach out, and offer comfort in Jesus' name.

Send us a text In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down and sit with one of the tenderest lines Jesus ever spoke: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). We explore what “mourning” really means in the Beatitudes—personal grief, the ache of a broken world, and sorrow that awakens the heart instead of hardening it. This isn't a call to pretend pain is good or to rush past sorrow with clichés. It's Jesus' promise that tears don't disqualify you—they become a meeting place with God's presence, strength, and hope. Together, we'll learn how to mourn as disciples through biblical lament, honest naming of loss, and trusting that the Kingdom is coming even in the valley.
