BEATITUDES LIVING IT. It has everything to do with Jesus Christ. HIS words are simple and inspire others to be like HIM. When Jesus Christ taught the Sermon on the Mount (Beatitudes), HE taught the people how to be like unto HIM and HIS Father and said to do and teach (Matthew 5).

Jesus Christ has already done the hard part (atonement) for each of us on both sides of the veil, infinitely forward and infinitely back. There is not a person, a thought, or a thing which is not covered by the atonement of Jesus Christ. When we fall short by not being obedient, this is when we call upon Jesus Christ, with a broken heart and a cont…

In Proverbs 22 it reads, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” The same may be said of those not taught at a young age; as they grow older, it becomes more difficult to depart from the paths they have chosen, especially if those paths did not include Jesus Christ. The scriptures teach us that it…

Jesus Christ’s work has everything to do with the family. His work is to bring all the families together and ensure that all are accounted for so they can be gathered back into the presence of God the father. Our Heavenly Father is literally counting back his children which is why families are forever. The commandment ‘Love God and Love thy Neighbo…

A messenger is a person employed to carry a message. God chooses whom he will, and prepares each for the assignment ahead. All God asks is a willing heart and obedience to His word. We read of messengers in scripture, called forth to carry a message to the people on the Lord’s behalf. You may recall the story in the Old Testament of Jonah. He was c…

Consider the significance of why is it so important to hear and obey the voice of the Lord, and why obedience is the first law of heaven. To make it back into the presence of our Heavenly Father, we have to first make it back to Jesus Christ, as it is Christ that will take us the rest of the way back, and into the presence of God the Father. So how…

The voice of the Lord is constantly calling out to us each and every day to guide us in our journey through life. As He speaks to you, you’ll find yourself standing at the cross-roads and you get to decide if you will be obedient and listen to what he has asked you to do. This is where obedience comes in and why obedience is so important. How will …

The power of prayer is literally having a conversation with God. The Power or prayer is unstoppable and is one of the greatest things we can do for our families and those around us, even for and in behalf of those not within our immediate family circle. Your example of living a righteous life is so important along with the power of prayer, knowing …

The voice of the Lord is calling out to us every day to guide us in our journey. Each time we listen and are obedient to His voice, we find safety and peace. Belief in Jesus Christ is knowing that the atonement is done and Jesus Christ lives. Hold firm to your belief in Jesus Christ. Stay firm and hold fast to the iron rod, which is the word of God…

The strait & narrow path is a path of solid ground and is like water. When you place your foot down in a "sure step" you are standing on solid ground. When you are not taking sure steps, your foot will not find solid ground and you will begin to sink. It is called strait & narrow because it will lead you to God. What you listen to, talk about and w…

The two great commandments speak of loving God and loving your neighbor as you love yourself. If you put yourself in their position as if you were looking out for yourself, what would you do differently? Too often we think of our neighbor as only those in the immediate area such as members of a church group, close friends or even family. Do we go t…

Jesus said, "Blessed are the merciful." Of all the Beatitudes from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, this is the only one that is truly reciprocal. Yet it’s this very quality of mercy that draws into question a person’s motive for compassion and kindness. Is demonstrating or showing mercy to another individual done out of a genuine sense of goodwill, or …

In the 21st century, we do not have a lack of food. Food insecurity does exist in America, but 39% of those living with food insecurity are obese. Why? Perhaps, the problem is simply the ineffectual distribution of food to the masses. Or could it be the food industry wants you to believe that hunger is a virtue, so you’ll continue to consume more s…

Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, the humble and the gentle...for they will inherit the earth." Meekness, gentleness, and humility are all notable traits. Unfortunately, it's those very traits that are often exploited by the boastful and belligerent. So, the question is, what kind of shape will the world be in when they inherit it? This Sunday, we…

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” A lofty notion considering the countless number of definitions of what it means to be "pure in heart". Throughout the centuries, Christians can't seem to agree on the meaning of this Beatitude. Is it a measure of one's devotion to God, or of one's internal character? Perhaps it's our intention…

Ever hear your inner voice chiding you to bite your tongue, don’t say a word!? Temptation convinces, cajoles, or even threatens us into inaction. But when, if ever, is temptation good? Should we routinely pray "Lead us not into temptation" or is greater self-reflection the antidote? Today, Pastor Tony Minear, Ph.D. wraps up his sermon series on the…

"Forgive Us Our Debts." Forgive us our what?? Author Jon Bloom asks, "Ever find yourself reciting The Lord's Prayer outside of your home church and things usually go pretty smoothly till you get to the fourth line? Some will say 'forgive us our debts,' some will say 'trespasses,' and others will say 'sins'." So, which is it? If it is "debt," is it …

"Give us this day our daily bread." An appropriate petition for the Israelites wandering in the wilderness hungry for manna during their 40-year exodus, but what does it mean for society today? The majority of households in the U.S. today (about 75%) live above the poverty level and do not experience food insecurity. As a nation of abundance and fa…

"Perhaps no other words flow so freely from the lips of well-intentioned people as the phrase 'the will of God.' God is blamed for so much! – Bishop John Shelby Spong. Last week we explored Jesus’ vision of the kingdom of God and how it begins with ourselves. Can we also apply that same vision here when it comes to ‘the will of God’? Afterall, ‘the…

God, your kingdom come. 13 U.S. Service Members killed and 100's of Afghanis killed or wounded. Thy kingdom come. Americans and Afghanis fearful if they don’t get out of Afghanistan they will be executed. Thy kingdom come. Political parties in Washington D.C. play the blame game. Thy kingdom come. Your kingdom come. What does it even mean anymore? …

“Hallowed be your name...” A radical petition? Maybe not by today’s standards. For many Christians, The Lord’s Prayer holds a rich tradition of practice recited corporately each and every Sunday during worship. And although it may seem customary (perhaps even a tad banal given its repetitive formulary for today’s worship), it was in Jesus’ lifetime…

“Our Father...” These summoning first words of the Lord's Prayer immediately direct our attention to the divine as a patriarchal figure—a metaphor for a father watching over his household. Metaphors are a powerful and useful device for something abstract, like God. Where does this specific metaphor of a Father come from, and are you comfortable cal…

No matter your tradition, be it Christian or non-Christian, chances are you've heard The Lord's Prayer spoken or sung. Many presume it was first spoken by Jesus, but when was its liturgical debut and why are there several different versions of this prayer? Today we begin our new sermon series: “The Lord’s Prayer”. Pastor Tony Minear, Ph.D. invites …
