God's mercy applied to our lives is a gift as we do not get what we all deserve, the penalty of sin. With the mercy applied to us, Jesus calls us to a new level of mercifulness in Matthew 5:7. In today's message, Pastor Scott discusses the Construct, Cost, Challenges, and Consequence of Mercy.

So often we fill our lives with things that leave us empty.

God will never disappoint.

Are you ready to pursue Him intentionally? To then receive the satisfaction of a fulfilling life with Him?

It's time to get hungry.

Join us for part 2 of Matthew 5:5, "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."

Meekness - great strength under great control - is rooted in us knowing our identity in Christ. Who does He say we are? Once we know that, we don't have to strive to prove anything!

Pastor Scott breaks down Matthew 5:5, "Blessed are the meek..."

Meekness goes against the grain of our nature - if we have the power, why not use it? But God's way may require something different.

Are we willing to lay down our strength for His?

God comforts those who mourn not just for what's been lost, but for what sin has broken. Jesus, who took on our grief, is that comfort.

Pastor Scott opens the Beatitudes on the portraits of poverty in Matthew 5:3. Being poor in spirit is not the start of the list, it's the threshold to everything else. But we must overcome the tragedy of self-sufficiency.

Pastor Scott continues our series on "The Way" as we focus on the Sermon on the Mount. Some refer to this passage of Scripture as the message of all messages. These words of Jesus are meant to bring about life-change. Will we accept the way of the King and His Kingdom?

When Jesus says, "Follow Me," He calls us to respond to revelation, receive a new identity, and release – not reprioritize – what keeps us from becoming a fully committed disciple.

As Christians, we will walk through wilderness seasons, which many times God leads us into so that we can be tested, trained, and prepared for the good works He has in store for us.
