Title: Blessed are the Pure in Heart 🙏
Theme: What is your true motivation?
📖 Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:8, Proverbs 21:2, & 1 Samuel 16:7. Opening Scripture: Psalm 51:10-12. Key verse: Matthew 5:8.
The heart is the center of who we are as a person. It represents our true selves.
So, when Jesus refers to those who are pure in heart he is looking beyond the outward and visible and is looking into our hearts to see our true motivation. 👀
Why do we really worship? Why do we really come to church? Why do we really pray? 🤔

Title: Blessed are the Merciful 🙏
Theme: Showing mercy means to be forgiving
📖 Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:7, & Genesis 50:15-21. Opening Scripture: Matthew 6:9-15.
Are we saved by forgiving others? Doesn’t the Bible teach that we are “saved by Grace through faith” and NOT by “works”?
So, how do we understand Jesus’ teaching both in Matthew 5:7, and Matthew 6:9-15? 🤔
Obviously, being merciful and forgiving others is crucial to the life of a disciple. Let’s explore this challenging command more deeply! 👀

Title: “Blessed are Those Who Hunger and Thirst”
Theme: Living a righteous life
📖 Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:6, James 1:22-27, and Micah 6:6-8. Opening Scripture: Galatians 5:16-25. Key verse: Matthew 5:6.
What are you really hungry for in life? Do you hunger for the things of the Spirit, or of the Flesh? 🤔
The opposite of seeking the things of the world is to seek first the kingdom of God and all its righteousness (Matthew 6:33). 🙏
However, is righteousness only about good moral behavior and self-discipline? Or is God also seeking a true righteousness that is more than following laws and is expressed deeply in our relationships with the least of these? 👀

Title: Blessed are the Meek
Theme: Disciples are not demanding and aggressive, but gentle and
sacrificially minded…
Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:5 and Colossians 3:12-15
Opening Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23
Does having the right to do something mean you should? Does having the power to do something make it right? We all want justice. We all want to get what we feel we deserve. However, is this mindset godly or worldly? The character of the disciple is evidenced by meekness that leads to knowing when to hold back, remain humble, and possibly even lose for the sake of saving or serving another.

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt

Title: Blessed Are Those Who Mourn
Theme: Mourning over our sin
Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:4 & Joel 1:13-15; 2:12-14
Opening Scripture: Psalm 51:1-12
Have you ever been heartbroken? Have you ever experienced the depths of grief coming from the loss of someone you love? At such moments of weeping and despair we often think of the words of Jesus from Matthew 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” But is this really what Jesus had in mind? Was he referring to sorrow over our losses, or something deeper? If the Beatitudes are meant to be the spiritual qualities of a disciple, then perhaps we’ve misread Jesus’ teaching here. Let’s wrestle with this passage together!

TITLE: BLESSED ARE THE POOR NI SPIRIT
THEME: RIGHTEOUSNESS COMES FROM THE LORD
SERMON SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:3
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs si the Kingdom of heaven.

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt

Title: “D.F.O.”
Theme: The importance of proclaiming God’s Word
Sermon Scripture: Acts 20:7-12
Opening Scripture: Romans 10:14-17
Have you ever fallen asleep during the sermon? It’s okay. We are only human. As Jesus once said to his sleepy disciples, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” In today’s scripture we encounter a seemingly random story about a young disciple who falls asleep during Paul’s long sermon. But, nothing is random in the Bible, right? So what can we learn from this strange anecdotal episode in Acts 20?

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt

THEME: THE HOLY SPIRIT EMPOWERS US FOR OUR
PURPOSE
1 Samuel 16:15 „So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David...“
