We will continue to look at The Beatitudes and how they relate to living outside of ourselves.

This week we'll look at The Beatitudes and how they relate to living outside of ourselves.

Jesus identifying himself as the messiah forced the locals in Nazareth outside of themselves. They were skeptical because he was one of them. They were offended because he revealed that God's salvation is offered to everyone.

Too often, satisfaction prevents the believer's spiritual growth and deep engagement with prayer and corporate worship. Jesus' example and Peter's description of who we are wakes us up and reminds us of our calling, which pulls us away from consumerism and into a royal priesthood!

This morning we will see Jesus Christ as a servant, serving the salvation purpose of God the Father. Understanding Jesus' servant leadership will be the foundation that we build upon in our 'Outside of Ourselves' series of messages.
