Blessed Are The Merciful

View all sermons by Kathryn Hartley

Matthew 5:1-12 — The mercy that typified Jesus’ ministry was more than a charitable act or a withheld punishment. In countless encounters (not least the Crucifixion), Jesus delighted to move towards the helpless, suffering, and sinful - you and me - in unrestrained kindness. As we seek to live ‘the Jesus way’, may the reality of our continual need for His mercy propel us towards our fellow sinners in love and compassion.

Rather, He came to do what we could never earn or achieve for ourselves; to create in us a pure heart, that we might see Him for all that He is and overflow with passion for Him.

Hunger And Thirst

View all sermons by Andrew Baker

Matthew 5:1-6 — Beneath all the brokenness, rebellion, and sin in the world, the deepest need within every human heart is to be made righteous; to be welcomed as sons and daughters into the arms of our heavenly Father. Will we follow Jesus’ instruction to hunger and thirst after this our true and greatest need, or will we instead seek after what will never satisfy?

Blessed Are The Meek

Matthew 5:1-5, 11:28-30, 26:50-54; John 2:13-17; 2 Timothy 3:1-4; Mark 10:35-45; Philippians 2:5-8; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Peter 1:3 — In a cultural context that celebrated power, Jesus’ description of the ‘meek’ being blessed would’ve sounded just as strange to His original listeners as it does today. But true Biblical meekness is not weakness, and we are not to be spineless pushovers. Rather we are called to live as Jesus did: God-yielded strength manifested in humility and gentleness.
