Blessed are the Pure in Heart

#Blessed

July 7, 2019 • Andy Williams

MAIN POINT:
"We’re truly blessed by God when we allow God to change our hearts—but we can’t do it alone."

KEY VERSE:
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will be see God.” – Matthew 5:8

CHALLENGE QUESTION:
"How regularly do you grab a thought or feeling—what’s in your heart—to run it by God and ask Him to make it pure in His eyes?"

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:
Proverbs 11:20, Matthew 5:21-22, 27-28, 43-47, Romans 3:11, Ezekiel 36:36, Psalm 51:10

SUMMARY:
Being blessed by God has come to mean something very different than what Jesus meant when He taught His famous Sermon on the Mount. We think that we’re blessed when we’re rich, smart, or have all that we desire in life during a certain moment. But when our health is at stake, we are experiencing financial difficulties, our kids are misbehaving, or our relationships have turned sour, then God must not be blessing me anymore. This week we continue our #Blessed series by taking a closer look at what Jesus meant when He said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”
