  • Grace, Obedience, and Eternal Honor (Matthew 5:17-20)

    This is the part of the Sermon on the Mount where it transitions into the specifics of what it looks like to follow Jesus. And it must be bounded by God’s will in Scripture (vs.17).

    -God’s written word is the only authoritative guide for life (vs. 18)


    -Obedience to God’s word affects your honor from the Lord (vs. 19)

    -Entry into eternal life is only by grace (vs. 20) – the righteousness that exceeds the Pharisees is the righteousness of Christ, received by faith

  • Life Giving People (Matthew 5:13-16)

    -If you look like the person in the Beatitudes (which all believers do at some level), you are called to be a life-giving person in the world.


    -Life-giving people are like salt: the Lord uses us to prevent moral/spiritual decay in others, and to flavor the world with the taste of heavenly life.

    -Life-giving people are like light: we bring Jesus, who is the light (John 8:12), into the darkness of spiritual lostness and the futility of the unconverted mind.

    -Our two dangers to doing this well: conformity and concealment

    - Life Application: stay salty; let your light shine. This is how we give life, the life of Jesus, to others.

  • Blessed Are the Persecuted (Matthew 5:10-12)

    * Nobody likes persecution but the one who loves Jesus will get through it, even rejoice and be glad


    * Persecution at some level is expected for those who live godly lives (2 Tim 3:12). But Jesus gives us truths to sustain us.

    * Truths: you have a kingdom, you have a reward, you are in good company (the prophets)

    * Jesus has walked this road before us, and God’s grace is sufficient to uphold us (2 Cor. 12:9-10)

  • Blessed are the Peacemakers (Matthew 5:9)

    -We don’t live in a peaceful world, but God has given us something to contribute: we make peace wherever we can, as God has made peace with us through Christ.


    -Peace is not just the absence of conflict but the presence of God’s full blessings. It’s the life we all want but don’t fully experience now.

    -Partly why we don’t experience it is because the world is full of conflict. And that’s where we can make a difference for the kingdom.

    -The main avenue is pursuing relational peace through repentance and forgiveness. We model that and others will see something beautiful.

    -However unsuccessful our peacemaking may be, we have a sure hope because we are adopted sons and daughters of God, reconciled fully to him by Jesus’ blood.

  • Blessed Are the Pure in Heart (Matthew 5:8)

    I. To be pure in heart is to be devoted to God above all things, even above all good things. It’s why we can make sacrifices without losing hope, because we always have him.


    II. The pure in heart are identified by their moral purity and truthful living (it’s never all that we want to be but the pursuit is there).

    III. The pure in heart will be rewarded with their deepest desire, which is to see with their own eyes the God that now they only see by faith

    Application- Keep the heart with all diligence (Prov. 4:23). We cultivate our devotion to God through the means of grace.

  • Blessed are those who mourn (Matthew 5:4)

    In another countercultural description of the ‘blessed’ person, they are those who mourn. They have pain and sadness in their lives. But the promise of comfort is not just to everyone in every sort of pain. It is a certain kind of mourning that marks the person in the kingdom of heaven. It is the mourning that comes from knowing what God intended but what has been lost because of sin. Such mourners have the promise of comfort in eternity as well as comfort in the here and now. The eternal comfort is certain, but the temporal comfort varies based on whether we respond to pain with faith or with fleshly approaches (like escape, bitterness, despair). I will spend the last third of the message on the practice of lament as a pathway from mourning to comfort. I will walk us through Psalm 13 which is an example of how we do it. The end of lament is to choose to trust God’s character and promises. That’s the critical step that separates lament from mere sadness and venting. As someone said, “To cry is human; to lament is Christian.”
