What did Jesus mean when He said that the meek will inherit the earth? Yes, there is the promise of the New Earth, but there is more. You can have a life full of eternal meaning right now. A life full of peace, joy, and love that will never end. This is only possible through the choices you make day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. You can inherit the earth now by choosing to live for Jesus and bringing your strength under His control.

A night of praise and worship spanning the generations.

Many people think that being meek means being weak, but this is just not true. Being meek means you have strength, but your strength is under control. To be meek is to be humble in every area of life by doing what Jesus says in His Word. It is to bring our strength under the control of the Holy Spirit. After all, it will not be the powerful, or the strong, or the wealthy, or the famous who inherit the earth, it will be the meek.

How can someone who mourns be happy? Christian mourning is spiritual sorrow for those dying and going to hell every day, and deep sorrow and repentance for personal sin. When we lead someone to Jesus as their Savior, and we keep our relationship with Jesus free from the numbing effects of sin, we can be happy. We can be blessed mourners.

What does it mean to be poor in spirit? Is it materially or financially poor or is it to go around with a woe is me attitude? No, to be poor in spirit is to recognize your absolute need for Jesus Christ. That you are impoverished in heart, soul, mind, body, in every area of life without Jesus Christ.

In this introductory sermon for the Sermon on the Mount Series, we look at how the Sermon on the Mount isn't about what Christians should do, but about what they should be. Jesus came, died on the cross, rose on the third day, ascended into heaven, and sent the Holy Spirit so you can be the Sermon on the Mount!
