In this message, we continue walking verse-by-verse through the Sermon on the Mount, arriving at Matthew 5:6:“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”What does it truly mean to hunger and thirst for righteousness? It’s a deep, constant longing for what is right in the eyes of God. In this sermon, we explore what that kind of pursuit looks like in everyday life, why it matters, and the promise Jesus gives to those who seek it.If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry, restless, or like something is missing, this message points to the only thing that truly satisfies.📖 Scripture: Matthew 5:6 (KJV)🎥 Part of our ongoing series through Matthew 5If this message speaks to you, consider sharing it with someone who needs encouragement today.Gospel Light ChurchComfort, NC🌐 Website: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com 🎧 Podcast: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com/podcast👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gospellightcomfort 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gospellightcomfort/🎥 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@gospellightcomfort Need prayer or have questions about faith?📩 Contact us here: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com/contact-us

Continuing our series through the Beatitudes, this message focuses on Matthew 5:5 — “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”After exploring spiritual poverty and mourning over sin in the previous messages, Jesus now teaches about meekness—a humility and strength that comes from trusting God rather than asserting ourselves. In this sermon, we look at what biblical meekness really means and why Jesus calls it a blessing.Join us as we continue walking through the Beatitudes and discovering what a truly blessed life looks like in God’s kingdom.If this message encouraged you, please consider subscribing and sharing it with someone who may need to hear it.Gospel Light ChurchComfort, NC🌐 Website: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com 🎧 Podcast: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com/podcast👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gospellightcomfort 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gospellightcomfort/🎥 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@gospellightcomfort Need prayer or have questions about faith?📩 Contact us here: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com/contact-usHave Feedback about our show?Email us at [email protected] 

In this message from Matthew 5:4, we continue walking through the Beatitudes: “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”After briefly revisiting verses 1–3, we turn to the story of Jacob and Joseph. When Joseph’s brothers deceived their father into believing Joseph was dead, Jacob’s grief was immediate, visible, and overwhelming. He tore his clothes and mourned for many days. Deep, undeniable distress that everyone could see.What does that kind of mourning have to do with Jesus’ words in Matthew 5?We also reflect on Psalm 32 and the weight of unconfessed sin. The heaviness David described when he kept silent, and the relief that came with confession and forgiveness. There is a kind of mourning that leads to life. Godly sorrow is not wasted; it leads to restoration.Just as Joseph was eventually restored to his father and Jacob rejoiced to receive him, we are invited to return to our Heavenly Father. When we come honestly, when we mourn rightly, He receives us with joy.Blessed are those who mourn… because true comfort comes from the Father.If this message encouraged you, please consider subscribing and sharing it with someone who may need to hear it.Gospel Light ChurchComfort, NC🌐 Website: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com 🎧 Podcast: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com/podcast👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gospellightcomfort 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gospellightcomfort/🎥 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@gospellightcomfort Need prayer or have questions about faith?📩 Contact us here: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com/contact-usHave Feedback about our show?Email us at [email protected] 

In Matthew 5, Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount with the Beatitudes, words that turn the world’s idea of blessing upside down. In this message, we look at who Jesus calls “blessed” and what it means to live a life shaped by humility, mercy, righteousness, and dependence on God. This sermon invites us to see the kingdom of heaven not as something we earn, but as something we receive as we follow Christ.If this message encouraged you, please consider subscribing and sharing it with someone who may need to hear it.Gospel Light ChurchComfort, NC🌐 Website: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com 🎧 Podcast: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com/podcast👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1APucDy3Z3/?mibextid=wwXIfr📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gospellightcomfort/🎥 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@gospellightcomfort Need prayer or have questions about faith?📩 Contact us here: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com/contact-usHave Feedback about our show?Email us at [email protected]

In this message, we begin in John 3:14–16, where Jesus points back to a lesser-known moment in Israel’s wilderness journey to explain the heart of the gospel. Before the cross, before Calvary, Scripture had already given a picture of salvation.In Numbers 21, the people of Israel rebel, complain, and suffer the consequence of their sin. God’s remedy is unexpected: a bronze serpent lifted up on a pole. Those who simply looked at it in faith were healed and lived. No work. No merit. Just trust in what God provided.Jesus declares that this moment was not incidental but it was intentional. Just as the serpent was lifted up in the wilderness, the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life. Salvation then, and salvation now, comes the same way: by looking in faith to what God has lifted up.This sermon traces that connection, showing how the lifted serpent points directly to Christ, and how John 3:16 flows naturally from this Old Testament picture. The message is simple, humbling, and hopeful: healing and life come not by striving, but by believing.If this message encouraged you, please consider subscribing and sharing it with someone who may need to hear it.Gospel Light ChurchComfort, NC🌐 Website: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com 🎧 Podcast: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com/podcast👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1APucDy3Z3/?mibextid=wwXIfr📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gospellightcomfort/🎥 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@gospellightcomfort Need prayer or have questions about faith?📩 Contact us here: https://www.GospelLightComfort.com/contact-usHave Feedback about our show?Email us at [email protected]
