Being Nothing but Possessing Everything: MATTHEW 5:5

from Understanding Christianity · host Sean Cole

Sean's new book, Compassionate Calvinism: Defending the Doctrines of Grace Without Being a Jerk, has been released.You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/Compassionate-Calvinism-Defending-Doctrines-Without-ebook/dp/B0FZDNLGK4/ref=sr_1_1 https://shop.g3min.org/products/compassionate-calvinism-defending-the-doctrines-of-grace-without-being-a-jerk Meekness is not natural. This goes against everything in our American culture and in human nature to be meek.  The third Beatitude can be summed up in this statement: Those who act as if they are nothing will, in the end, possess everything. The world doesn’t understand meekness. We as Christians don’t understand meekness. Why would those who act like they are nothing actually in the end possess everything? In this sermon, Dr. Sean Cole asks two particular questions.  First of all, what exactly is meekness? And secondly, what does it truly mean to inherit the earth?
