We move to the fourth Beatitude and learn about righteousness. We will see that the progression of our faith continues as we seek to live in purity. This may be my personal favorite of the Beatitudes because it is choosing to live rightly — it is not commanded!

We continue our Beatitude series by looking at the third Beatitude and being reminded of the progression that Jesus teaches. Once you realize that you have nothing to offer God towards salvation (Beatitude #1) and then mourn over your sin (Beatitude #2), the next step is to yield control to Christ and others (Beatitude #3). Meekness has become a bad word in our society but you will see this weekend, that God thinks it is a good thing.

We continue our Beatitude series with the idea of “mourning over sin” and how the Lord brings comfort. This will be a wonderful reminder that you don’t hear anywhere today but from God’s Word.

We continue our study of the Beatitudes and study the first one after doing an overview last week. We will be reminded that Jesus has accomplished everything for us (as we learned a few years ago in Colossians — Jesus + Nothing = Salvation).

We begin a summer series called “The Secret of Happiness” as we study The Beatitudes in great detail. This weekend, we will do an overview of the Beatitudes which will help us find context for this amazing section of Scripture.

This weekend, we wrap up this short series on the Parable of the Sower. We will examine each type of soil the seed was scattered upon. Our study will help us to understand what keeps people from following Jesus. It should also challenge us to consider how we can best align our hearts fully with the purposes of God’s will.

This week we will look at Matthew 13:1-17. We focus on the question the disciples asked Jesus, "Why do you teach in parables?" We will find that those who seek the Truth, live a privileged and abundant life.

I Believe Part 2 - 4

We are in the 8th of a 9-part series on the APOSTLES’ CREED. This weekend we look at a line that gives us all hope, “the forgiveness of sins.” We will search the Scriptures together to understand this profound statement and, of course, we will find hope!

Our purpose in this study is to help each of us understand what we are actually saying when we recite the creed. This weekend, we study the line, "the holy catholic church, the communion of saints."
