The Beatitudes 1-4 – May 8, 2011

At what is considered Jesus’ first time preaching to a large crowd, he starts his sermon with “Blessed are”. What does that mean? To be happy, be envied. So what instructions do we receive in the first four Beatitudes? “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Translation: You are blessed when you are at the end of your rope. As Pastor Ronnie puts it, you have two choices, Just Hold On or Let Go. God works in both situations, sometimes He tells us to Hold On, keep going through it, He’s got it! Other times He tells us to Let Go. He’s got this! And Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted? Listen to find out more.
