[@SharonLysyj]

sooooo good! thank you

[@theresaporter3995]

I found this helpful. I have been saved over 40 years. My greatest joy in life is found in loving and serving the Lord Jesus Christ

[@JoanKentBible]

The truth is that God has provided us with satisfying food in His word. "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Those of us who have a bible or access to the internet are so blessed!

[@sydneyhoward5434]

You’re message is so clear and relatable. Speaking right to my heart

[@jandaley336]

Great teaching...so much better than worldly happiness is the joy of the Lord.. to know His joy is to know Him.. really know Him. Truly it is our and is my strength

@@thecdomaha THIS IS THE ONLY GOSPEL THAT SAVES LOST SOULS!! 👇 Here is a message for lost souls - Jesus Christ is God, manifest in the flesh and He came on earth to die for our sins. He bore our sins on the cross of Calvary. Have you accepted His free gift of Salvation? Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Have you truly BELIEVED from your heart that Jesus Christ is LORD? Have you BELIEVED in the death, burial and resurrection found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KING JAMES Bible? That's how a lost soul can get saved. Remember that it's NOT what we do that gets us saved, it's what Jesus Christ DID on the cross of Calvary, that's what SAVES a lost soul. All you have to do to be saved, and on your way to heaven is place your TRUST in the shed Blood of Jesus Christ and nothing else, as sufficient for your salvation, (Romans 3:25 KJB - "Whom God hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;") (Propitiation means the act of appeasing wrath, Jesus took your place on the cross.) Will you accept Jesus Christ as your saviour by simple faith, simply trusting in his shed Blood which is sufficient to save your soul from hell? The last sentence is all you must do to be saved, and that is FAITH, not works, TRUSTING in what someone else did for you is the only thing that is not a work. Please get saved NOW before it's too late for your soul!! There's 1 Eternity to choose from, Heaven or Hell, choose wisely for your souls!! Grace and Peace to all in Christ Jesus!!

I've never fully understood the meaning behind the sermons on the mount. However, after listening to this, not only does it make me understand it but also a desire to read and dig for more into the bible. I have to listen three times to fully digest what the speaker is saying and also the speaker is a 'heart surgeon' in a spiritual sense. I am blessed!😊

[@prennrecaj2957]

Great sermon especially what u said about adoption and of course everything Amen brother keep preaching we get a pure heart by listening and trusting in the gospel i got saved on April 7th 2017 but for some reason cant quit gambling and smoking cigarettes praying for father GOD'S grace

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.

thank you brother for wonderful preaching may continue to use you as His instruments.

It is important to understand that not all people who take medication do so out of an unmet desire for happiness. I take mood stabilizers because I have bipolar disorder. My biochemical brain function does not work properly. A diabetic takes insulin, a person with heart disease takes blood thinners, and I take mood stabilizers for mental illness. God could absolutely heal my brain dysfunction, however in my weakness He is made strong. I am dependent upon Him for peace and His care. Medication allows my brain to settle down so I can focus on Him.

[@prennrecaj2957]

Amen

[@mariajordan3650]

Great! thank you!

[@dawnbern2917]

I especially appreciate our speaker here for pointing out the alternative translation of "blessed" from the original Hebrew text as "happy." To my knowledge there are many Hebrew Scholars that believe that "happy" is actually a more appropriate translation. This, to me, draws pleasing parallels to The Noble Eightfold Path to "happiness" (or "Sukha") in Buddhism.

[@KevsGuide]

Hi Dawn. Buddhism may lead to happiness and I am sure it has great teachings. But Please understand that Jesus is the only path to salvation ♥️

[@dawnbern2917]

@@KevsGuide ...and I have enough work to do just "doing me". I find that I am happiest when I withhold unsolicited advice to others, especially "on the streets, so that all men can see".

It's me, again. I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (January 29, Epiphany 4), this was our Gospel of the Day. This passage can also be read on November 1, which is All Saints' Day.

[@HJKelley47]

Thank God that this, as well, as all other verses can be read at anytime; not just on November 1. As part of my study on the Kingdom of God, the Beatitudes is a pivotal piece in that study--which I am currently doing.

[@carrielee306]

thanks for the sermon! truly, thank you.

[@KevsGuide]

1 Is it a social blueprint? 2 Is it for the future? 3 Is it to show us our sin? 4 Is it a picture of life in the kingdom of God?

[@harrisonrutledge5]

It is clear, with this sermon, that Jesus tells the people what life in the kingdom of the new covenant looks like; he sees beyond their physical needs to their deeper spiritual needs. For far too often, the church has turned its back on the teachings of Christ. It's one reason why I despise religion but love Jesus.

People don’t seek happiness. They seek meaning and fulfillment; if happiness comes treat it with gratitude, but hardly is that the motivator. Next!

[@greymodoy2126]

Ummmm are things always that foggy for you....meaning and fulfillment are quite simply the means to what we seek....oh also only Jesus can fill the void and lift the fog.

[@thekoolaidmom]

That depends on your definition of happiness. Sources I studied sight a general sense of fulfillment as a part of happiness.

[@angelv527]

Just because one is on medication does not make one happy.

[@leoroys9683]

What about vs `13--48 of Matthew chp 5 that's 35 verses left out

[@leoroys9683]

when you read the Word on any portion of scripture it's the Holy Spirit only that can give you the correct interpretation He refers to his notes not so much what actually says no affiance ,but he's taking the place of the Holy Spirit ,He the SPIRIT of God is the person who wrote it that's why every one runs to the latest teacher for the latest explanation .So then why do we need the Holy Spirit then if we have the latest version on what Jesus really meant then we can fallow men rather than God via the Holy Spirit

[@leoroys9683]

I have 4 years of Greek grammar and this not what the original Greek says

[@faith-hope-love1corinthian486]

leo roys please share your gnosis with us. i am very curious. thank you very much. : )

It would be very interesting if Roys would be kind enough to share his biblical Greek understanding of verses 3-12.

[@brianvanderkodde2907]

To say that dispensationalist believe that the only purpose of the sermon on the mount is future and has no application for today could no be more inaccurate. You lost all credibility with that statement sir. I know of no dispensationalists that are alive today and pastoring churches that have ever or would ever say that. To say that you are thankful that there are less dispensationalist... that is at best questionable. Maybe it is true where you live but I don't believe that is true throughout the world. Secondly.... is that a point that really edifies the body of church worldwide? It sounds like pride to me.

You have a choice; he is still CREDIBLE to many. Why ? He puts in a lot of effort; you just hit the keyboard

[@Krishnasdog]

@@shammahcadayong6908 It's an honest inquiry. I'm not trying to discredit the Bible. I read it everyday. Please don't be so quick to make judgements about someone you don't even know. Besides, another nice person already answered my question with a link that was very helpful and informative.
