Blessed! A Sermon on the Beatitudes from Matthew 5:1-12 by Pastor Colin Smith

[@victoriahigman6802]

This wisdom is from a heart that is not proud but is born from the words he says. I am so glad to hear Colin Smith to help me in my mourning

Can i just say, this was beautiful. And what i needed, like The Good Lord always does. Not what i wanted to hear but what i needed to hear. ❤ learning every day what it truly means to love Him.

[@cindyruiz7434]

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness the interpretation is that those that are hungry for the word of God to do his will to be an example of Our Lord Our Savior Jesus Christ and to live a Godly life led by the Holy spirit 😇

Pastor Smith, I would just like to say that I am really enjoying this series on The Beatitudes. It is 'solid', good, basic Bible, which is a rare thing to find these days. Thank you for being obedient to the Abba Father and sharing these on KZbin. I just sent this first teaching to my sister. I pray she and her husband watch and enjoy it as much as I am. Thank you and Blessings!

[@legendbennet]

Great and good

[@eaydeeu1]

This was a great sermon. Using life examples and scientific examples (momentum). I used to struggle with the beatitudes and its understanding, but now my way of living would now be re-redefined and more easier. Thank you Pastor, be blessed.

[@rickysikes8303]

The Spirit is teaching me about the beatitudes. He started it with a Bible class on them, but the teacher was very discouraging. I have been praying about these and His discipline is wonderful! I really like the footnotes along with the lesson. They help me take notes and stay focused.

A Journey To the Top of Mt. Zion When I focus on Zion, at first my glasses are dark; in the distance it seems dim He opened His mouth and began to speak blessings; I learn to be a beggar from every breath of my mouth, convicted of my sins Desiring to achieve and reach up to Zion, the first step I took, He heard my cry My cries turned to wailing, wailing to great anguish, but I heard Him say, “Draw Near”, and I was comforted, now on the second step I stood, with wind beneath my wings I feel I can fly A 3rd step I took, but really there have been many in between; I humbly bow to my King, and now I’m beginning to be carried, inheriting the earth Bold to tell of His Truth, my feet start to move, but sorrow felt for those below me, will they stay the course, will they hear my joy that draws me closer in this new birth Encouragement came from those in front of me, so I encourage and pray for those behind me Heaven His throne and earth His footstool, as I draw near I begin to see more clearly, the flesh in which I flee Fatigue of this journey I’m getting hungry and thirsty, He set a table of righteousness before me and a fountain of living water for my thirst I feast on His bread, and fully drink of His water; the 4th step becomes excitement, with great joy and satisfaction to my spirit and soul at first The 5th step or more like a thousand steps from plateau to plateau, now seeking to be filled with His love and compassion I continue to go Once again I’m filled with His mercy, receiving mercy for me, I know The 6th step I start casting off all that is unclean, finding filth I’ve never seen, my heart is broken, and I think of how unsearchable are all the riches of my Lord, I look and see the purity of His Kingdom and all His glory If I can reach to the top of Zion I will be His son, seeking peace to find rest, now at the 7th step my feet no longer touching the ground, going all the way, if in Him I be found, telling my story I’ve now reached a new level, persecuted and suffering tribulation I feel His Joy, because I’m in Him, and every assault He has taken for me, for He is my righteous armor, and for Him I do strive. This 8th step is by full faith and no fear of this world, but to fear God I will respond The final step is true death, for you will be hated by this world, but it’s not you they hate, but the Son of God, Jesus Christ, that you put on This 9th step is where one knows intimately the meaning of denying ones flesh and the baptism of a worldly death, raised as a new man in newness of life One day to meet the Bridegroom, dressed in white, His wife Blessed, I’m poor and begging for His spirit Connecting to His kingdom, He hears it Blessed, mourning over my sins I grieve His comforter with joy I soon received Blessed, meek and humble, but in spirit and truth I’m bold Inheriting the earth I’m told Blessed, I’m thirsty and starving for His righteousness Filled and fully satisfied with my Christ Jesus Blessed, having mercy and compassion for all His mercy on me begins to fall Blessed, having a pure and clean heart to grow Fixing my gaze upon Him, I now know Blessed, pursuing the Prince of Peace A child of God, a peacemaker, I will not cease Blessed, persecuted for His righteousness in me The Kingdom of Heaven, His face I can see My persecution makes me exceedingly glad Making it to the top of the mountain, just like the prophets had For great is my reward In heaven are all my treasures stored Mat 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: The Beatitudes Mat 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Mat 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mat 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Mat 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Mat 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Mat 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Mat 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Mat 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Mat @ Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mat @ Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Mat @ Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Psa 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. Psa 119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. Psa 119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. Psa 119:145 KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. Psa 119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

Why the thumbs down - there was nothing said here that was unbiblical.

[@goodbuddy7607]

Many of these videos have low sound volume. Please increase the volume of future sermons if not the existing ones. Thank you.

[@goodbuddy7607]

By the way, I love Pastor Smith's sermons. :)

Christians go through the Cross to die and rise as Christ did..

[@maplenook]

How sanctification happens

[@adrianmolm715]

What did the book of Easter teach about aashes?

[@OpentheBibleorg]

Hi Adrian - What exactly are you searching for in the above question? I am not sure of the connection you are making between ashes and "Easter". Please clarify. Thank you!

[@H0LDENSUX]

This Pastor completely ignored the fact that the Beatitudes were for people in the 1000 year kingdom and not to the church who are under grace. These people are saved by doing the law not by faith only which is completely ignored.

[@HiHoSilvey]

Not true. It is only by grace that the beatitudes become fully ours now just like the fruit of the spirit.

[@H0LDENSUX]

@@HiHoSilvey The fundamental problem with claiming that the "beatitudes become fully ours now like the fruit of the spirit." is that there was not 1 single Christian in the group that Jesus was preaching to if you look at Matthew 4:23. Jesus was preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom which is NOT the same as the Gospel of the Grace of God in Acts 20:24. We're commanded to rightly divide (2 Timothy 2:15).

[@HiHoSilvey]

@@H0LDENSUX but see Mat 5:1-2. Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his DISCIPLES came to him. And he opened his mouth, and taught THEM... Yes, there were crowds there as well but his teaching was directed to his disciples. Jesus said In Luke 8:10, "to you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest, it is in parables, so that, seeing, they may not see, and hearing, they may not understand." We will never get off the ground in our life of sanctification if we can't even recognize that we are poor in spirit, followed by mourning over sin, etc.

[@H0LDENSUX]

@@HiHoSilvey The disciples were pork abstaining, temple worshipping, sabbath observing, circumcised bearded Jews. Christians are none of those things (apart from some that grow their beard). Besides, in Matthew 5:1-2, Jesus had not died on the cross for the sins of the whole world yet. Because we don't get sanctified by applying those things Jesus said in Matthew 5:1-2, we already receive them when we believe Jesus died for our sins according to 1 Corinthians 1:30 quote, "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:” If Christ had to be made for us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption, do you know what that means? That means we must have been stupid, or we wouldn't have needed the wisdom. It must mean we were wicked, or we wouldn't need the righteousness. It must mean we were unclean, or we wouldn't need the sanctification. It must mean we were lost and doomed, or we wouldn't have needed the redemption. So in the Bible, the picture of us Christian people is that we are stupid, unrighteous, unclean, and lost, and we couldn' t take care of any of it. So Jesus Christ becomes all of it for us. And when you take Jesus Christ you get the "wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption."

[@Liminalplace1]

Gee this Pastor has completely missed the point of the beatitudes. I think it's not too uncommon misunderstanding though. Dallas Willard in his book "Divine Conspiracy" demonstrates that the situations listed here are not qualities that are blessed. They are things to Jewish expectations were considered excluded from the kingdom. Rather the blessedness is because the kingdom is offered to them. The kingdom blessedness is incongrous In spite of their situation. For example, being poor in spirit is lacking spiritually, hunger and thirst for righteousness is that they lack righteousness, they aren't virtues we aspire to. I seriously doubt he was challenged by the Lord.
