PODCAST|The Beatitudes Of Jesus

[Podcast]

By Pastor Vinnie & Jonathan Martin

In this episode, we introduce the Sermon On The Mount with the Beatitudes. In the first part of a three-part series on the Sermon On The Mount, we set the stage for the context of the whole sermon and then start breaking down the deep meaning of each of the Beatitudes. We explore why what Jesus was saying in the Beatitudes was so controversial. Find out how the Beatitudes can help us love God and each other better. As we study the wonder of the beauty of these words of Jesus we are awakened to the deeper and marvelous possibilities for the Church and how we could change the world together!

As continue to study the sermon on the mount we will keep seeing that the Beatitudes are the keys to the whole sermon. Jesus uses the Beatitudes to shock, provoke, and awaken the crowd to the importance of all He is about to say during the sermon on the mount. In fact, the Beatitudes become the template for not only the sermon but also the whole Christian worldview. If this sermon is the apex sermon of Jesus, as I believe it is, then understanding the depth of the Beatitudes is the keys to the Kingdom.

Join Jon and me, in arguably one of our most important Podcast episodes yet as we explore the depths of the Beatitudes of Jesus in his most famous sermon ever. You will be blessed!

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
