Blessed Are The Merciful!

#Blessed-Week 6

August 1, 2021 • Elder Rolf Strackman • Matthew 5:7

It’s never easy to let go and forgive. Jesus teaches that it is a blessing to show mercy to others, but how is that possible when people have hurt you? It’s impossible to show mercy to others when we don’t know the mercy of God. BLESSED are the merciful for they shall be shown mercy. Matthew 5:7. In this message Rolf Strackman teaches five ways to show mercy to others even when it is difficult.

I AM BLESSED!

August 29, 2021 • Pastor Erik Pluemer • Matthew 5:11

Can I be Holy and Happy at the same time? We often think that God wants to ruin our happiness. Let’s admit it, sin is fun or we would not do it, and God is against sin. But does it need to be this way? Jesus tells us that to be blessed is to be happy. In this message Pastor Erik teaches true happiness comes when we experience true holiness with Jesus!

Blessed are the Persecuted!

August 22, 2021 • Josh Carbonell • Matthew 5:10

We don’t really experience persecution in the United States for being a Christian, or do we? Persecution comes in a variety of different ways. In other countries you can lose your life for being a Christian. In the U.S you can lose friends, be insulted, or mocked. The truth is, if you are living for Jesus your life is going to look different than the rest of the world. It can be lonely and hard to be different, especially when we want to fit in. Jesus teaches that the blessed are those who are persecuted on account of me. In this message our worship director asks the question, “if your life does not look different from the rest of the world, then are you really living for Jesus”?

Blessed Are The Peacemakers!

August 15, 2021 • Pastor Erik Pluemer • Matthew 5:9

We all want peace in our lives. Jesus tells us that it is a blessing to be a peacemaker. But how do you experience peace in the midst of chaos? How do you experience peace in the middle of a storm? Blessed are the PeaceMakers for they shall be called the sons of God Matthew 5:9. In this message Pastor Erik Pluemer teaches Jesus offers us inner peace despite our outward circumstances.
