SA Ep45 - Meekness vs Weakness (Part 1)

Send us Fan MailMeekness vs Weakness Part 1 SummaryIn this first episode, we laid the foundation for everything that follows by defining what Jesus meant when He said, “Blessed are the meek” in Matthew 5:5. Before we could understand meekness, we had to understand blessedness. We saw that blessedness is not surface happiness that depends on circumstances, but a deep, settled condition of being right with God. It is inward stability, not outward success. We walked through the order of the Beatitudes and saw that meekness grows out of poverty of spirit and mourning. It is the fruit of humility and repentance, not personality or temperament. We also began to challenge the world’s definition of strength by looking at Scripture, including Proverbs 16:32, which teaches that ruling your own spirit is greater than conquering a city. Episode one sets the tone for the series by showing that kingdom strength begins on the inside and that true power is found in surrender, not self-assertion.
