Are You Meek or Weak?


Listen Later

This sermon explores the third beatitude from Matthew 5:5, 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.' The pastor explains that meekness is not weakness but rather 'controlled strength' - power under the control of the Holy Spirit. He contrasts this with the world's expectations of strength and aggression, showing how Jesus embodied true meekness through His gentleness and humility. The sermon examines biblical examples of meekness including Abraham, Moses, Joseph, and David, demonstrating how they showed strength under God's control rather than self-control. The pastor emphasizes that true meekness comes through salvation in Christ, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and submitting to God's Word.
