The Blessed Life Part 4 | Authentic Christianity Series

In our first message here from the beatitudes we explored the setting and the context of the Word blessed. Makarios=happy, satisfied, inwardly content. The first beatitude was poor in spirit! Thank God that’s the starting point! We are destitute, unable to provide for ourselves. We are in complete need of everything from God spiritually. We must recognize that we do not have what we need within ourselves, our humanity is corrupt. But the story doesn’t end with our corruption as we will see. There is an escape. 

We started at the ground level with our ladder of The Beatitudes—

Rung 1- Poor In Spirit

Rung 2- Pressed In Soul

This week we climb to Rung 3- Patient In Strife

The Book of Romans – Part 1 | The Epistles of The Apostle Paul

What is an Epistle?—One of the letters, written openly, adopted as books of the New Testament. Paul authored 7 canonized letters. These are the letters or epistles to Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi, Colosse, and Thessalonica. 

What is an Apostle?—Apostle (Gk. Apostolos). Envoy, ambassador, or messenger commissioned to carry out the instructions of the commissioning agent.

Who is Paul?—This is the former Saul of Tarsus, a Jewish Rabbi of the Jewish sect of law-keeping, brilliant-minded, hard-hearted Pharisees of which we read so much of in the gospels. We learn of this man called Saul in Acts chapter 7, a man filled with rage and hate for the Christians. He hated what was being preached, so much so that he consents to the death of the first Christian martyr, a young man named Stephen.

To God! Be The Glory!

Tonight we look past the life we have, and through Scripture we will gaze as far as we can into Heaven and see “To God, Be The Glory!” A message for all believers! 

We’ve heard the message for those who are ready to quit, “But God!” We’ve heard the message for those who needed to refocus their eyes on what’s really important, “For God”

For God! A Message For Those Who Have Lost Sight!

Tonight, my heart and burden continues, sort of in the same vein and heart of this morning. My burden is the church—our church, as we take in where we are and as we embrace the fact that the Lord could come at any minute, we must take up the responsibility that has been entrusted to us! 

This morning we discussed our axe head a depiction of the power of the Holy Spirit, we realized our desperate need to operate in that power. We must have that power—we have to have that power!

For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit. Ecclesiastes 2:26
