INTRODUCTION: We are in a series of sermons we are calling, ''Blessed''.
Remember in our introduction to this series we said that the state of being blessed was a word that outside of scripture was only used in reference the Pantheon of Greek Gods and Goddesses...
We said that biblically it was a word used to denote the - Power, Presence, and Provision of God.
We also learned that the first word of the first sermon Jesus ever preached was, ''Blessed''. God wants you to live the Blessed Life. And the beatitudes are a prescriptive for just that.
First Beatitude: We saw that those who recognized their Spiritual Poverty were blessed of God. This week we are in verse 4... let's look at it together.
Second Beatitude: We saw that those who mourn are uniquely positioned to receive God's blessing.
Third Beatitude: We learned that the Meek are blessed for they shall inherit the earth.
Fourth Beatitude: We learned the blessing of the spiritual appetite...
This week Jesus turns outward in the expressions of the godly attitude.You see spiritual poverty is inward. Mourning is inward, Meekness is inward, hungering
for God is inward.
But look at this weeks beatitude...
