The Meek (4 of 8)
Series: Blessed
Zach Terry
Matthew 5:5
OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Someone asked me how I was going to be able to preach after such a wild and unpredictable week - I said it's like this Young man who asked his Pastor if it was ok to kiss he girlfriend. Pastor said, ''Son you will just have to pray about that''. He took his girlfriend under an oak tree to pray, but he didn't know that a little boy had climbed up in that tree. The teenager knelt down with his girlfriend and said, ''Lord, Lord, up above, can I kiss the one I love?'' the little boy up in that tree said, ''Sinner, Sinner down below pucker up and let her go''.
So I'm going to pucker up and let 'er go today....
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.
Two weeks ago: 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.
Last week: We saw that those who mourn are uniquely positioned to receive God's blessing.
Today we take a step further into the blessed life according to Jesus...
TEXT: Matthew 5:5 (ESV)
5 ''Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Now when was the last time you were really trying to brag on someone that you described them with the adjective, ''Meek''???
- Do you describe your favorite SEC team as being meek?
- When they are looking to make a coaching hire... do you say, ''I just hope they can find someone who's meek!
- Coaches don't ...
