In this sermon, we continue our discussion from last week and take a look at what it means hunger for the things that please God.

As kingdom citizens we are to seek righteousness and die to ourself daily. This means no longer living for ourselves but living for Christ and his glory. 

Both the saved and unsaved mourn, it’s a part of everyday life. However, Christ teaches us that those who follow him as kingdom citizens, are people who mourn their sin and run to him for every need.

Being poor in spirit does not mean that we do away with our gifts and talents that God has given us, it means that those things are no longer first in our life once we put our faith in Christ. As kingdom citizens, we are to put Christ first in our life over everything else.

Everyone wants to be happy. However, the happiness that the world, sin, and our flesh offers is only temporary and always fading. For this reason, Christ reminds us that true, everlasting, sustaining joy and happiness can only be found in him. 

The Sermon on the Mount is not rightly understood until we have grasped and understood it as a whole, not just in its parts. Unfortunately most people only understand bits and pieces of the King's Manifesto. In this sermon, we take a look at Matthew 5 to better understand the Sermon on the Mount in its entirety.

In Matthew, Jesus delivers his manifesto to his people. As his followers and citizens of the Kingdom of God, we are to obey and follow the commands of our King in all that we do.

Jesus is alive! Celebrate our Savior’s resurrection with us!

On the cross we see the perfect love of God put on display for us. In love God chose us, and in love he sent Jesus. In love Jesus lived a perfect life, and in love he laid his life down on the cross. It was a dark day, the day that God died, and yet we call it Good Friday. John tells us how and why in chapters 17-19.
