Sermon on the Mount – Beatitudes (2) Matthew 5:5-7
We continue our Sermon on the Mount series by discussing the third, fourth, and fifth Beatitudes.
A Haven in Turbulent Times (Matt 14:22-33)
Several stormy incidents are mentioned in the Bible. One is Jonah’s storm. Jonah took a ship headed towards Tarshish and suddenly a storm came up. During Jesus’ time, the disciples’ boat was swamped by a storm while they were on the lake. When Paul was on a ship to Rome, he was caught in a storm that appeared suddenly. Storms appear suddenly, allowing little time for preparations. Where is the safest place one can be when storms happen in life?
Motherhood, A Divine Calling
Napoleon once said, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” But we can also say, that “The hand that rocks the cradle destroys the world, too.” Mothers, how important and how great you are! Motherhood is a divine calling. What is this calling?
Sermon on the Mount 1, Beatitudes 1 (Matthew 5: 1-4)
Matthew 5 – 7 is called the Sermon on the Mount. There are a total of 111 verses in these three chapters. Apart from Matthew 5:1 and 7:28-29, which were authored by Matthew, all the other 108 verses were spoken by the Lord Jesus himself. There is a Bible called the Red Letter Bible; in it, everything spoken by the Lord Jesus is in red. Thus, in the Red Letter Bible, these three chapters can be called red letter scripture, and these are precious bible passages. In this series of sermons, we will reflect on messages from the Sermon on the Mount. If we can memorize this Scripture passage, how helpful that would be to us all our lives.
