Church Service 06-19-22 Livestream - Matthew 4:23-5:5 - "The Beatitudes: Need & Promise"

Complete Church Service, Sunday, June 19, 2022. As we continue on in our exposition of the Gospel of Matthew, we now enter into a study of Jesus' masterful Sermon on the Mount. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus imparts the essential teachings of the Kingdom to His disciples. In it He explains who is qualified to enter the Kingdom and how the people of God should conduct their lives. At the beginning of the Sermon, Jesus lays out 9 "Beatitudes" or pronouncements of blessing. Each Beatitude consists of two phrases: The condition and the result. Jesus encourages us cultivate each of these conditions in our hearts that we might obtain the result - which is the blessing He pronounces. Pastor Larry divides the 9 Beatitudes in three triplets. Each triplet of Beatitudes focuses on a particular subject. In this message we look at the first triplet of Beatitudes which focus on our need for God.
