Persecuted and Happy

Week 8 of 8

November 20, 2022 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Matthew 5:10–12

Everybody longs for comfort and convenience; if we choose to live for Jesus, we can expect persecution. When we're persecuted, we must choose to value God above all, to rejoice, and to focus on eternal rewards.

Fully Satisfied

October 23, 2022 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Matthew 5:6

To be fully satisfied, we must stop chasing empty pleasures. We can then start seeing God's goodness and stay committed to living right with Jesus, God, and people.

The Choice of Mercy

October 30, 2022 • Pastor Jonathan Falwell • Matthew 5:7

Mercy is an unnatural response to a natural action and an outward display of an inward work. Mercy is contagious. It is the reward for mercy: Mercy given = mercy received.

A Heart of Gold

November 6, 2022 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Matthew 5:8

What does it mean to have a pure heart? A pure heart is honest, humble, and holy. A pure heart allows us to "see God," to have an unobstructed view of who God is and to enter into God's presence.
