EP 92: Blessed are the Merciful (Matthew 5:7 – Sermon on the Mount Series)

by Marci Ferrell
Bible Study Christian Living Podcast Sermon on the Mount Theology

"Those who know they have received mercy, show mercy. And the merciful are greatly blessed, because they will receive mercy from God himself." @mferrell

Showing mercy to others is a sign we have been redeemed. And as the verse, Matthew 5:7 states: Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. If we are truly in Christ, we are then objects of His mercy, and we will then be merciful to others, and we will, in the end, receive mercy. Being merciful to others is evidence we have received mercy. The word merciful here is eleemones, and it's used here and in Hebrews 2:17 in this form. It comes from ele'eo and it means to have ... continue reading...

EP 90: Hungering and Thirsting After Righteousness (Matthew 5:6 – Sermon on the Mount Series)

by Marci Ferrell
Bible Study Christian Living Podcast Sermon on the Mount Theology

Those who hunger and thirst will be satisfied because they will find righteousness not in themselves but in Jesus. God is the only one and Him alone who can satisfy the deepest needs of our hearts. @sermononthemount #righteousness #biblestudy #matthew5:6 @mferrell

We all know what it feels like at times to be hungry or thirsty, but there are a hunger and thirst that should be far more concerning to us that we are going to dig into together today, and it’s not talking about physical hunger but spiritual hunger. It’s a hunger that will not be satisfied by food or water but only by God.  Augustine said: "Thou has made us for thyself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee." The good news is Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:6 ... continue reading...

EP 89: Blessed are the Meek (Matthew 5:5 – Sermon on the Mount Series)

by Marci Ferrell
Bible Study Christian Living Podcast Sermon on the Mount Theology

Meekness is often defined as power under control, and in the case of the Spirit-filled believer, he or she is under the control of God's Spirit. @mferrell

Meekness is often defined as power under control, and in the case of the Spirit-filled believer, he or she is under the control of God's Spirit. Meekness towards God is a disposition of spirit that accepts His dealings as good and doesn't dispute or resist them. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. ~ Matthew 5:5 A gentle, trusting spirit should characterize our relationship with both man and God. It has an attitude that accepts all of God's ways as good—we are trusting the ... continue reading...

EP 88: Blessed Are Those Who Mourn (Matthew 5:4 – Sermon on the Mount Series)

by Marci Ferrell
Bible Study Christian Living Podcast Sermon on the Mount Theology

True spiritual mourning produces a hatred for our sin and a repentant heart that desires to be in a right relationship with the Lord. We should desire to be holy as God is holy.

True spiritual mourning produces a hatred for our sin and a repentant heart that desires to be in a right relationship with the Lord. We should desire to be holy as God is holy. Mourning is to be our lifestyle. It’s not just a one time moment when we first came to a recognition of our utter spiritual poverty before the Lord—it is a continual part of our lives as believers We want to cultivate hearts that are sensitive to the sin our lives and mourn over them. We want our mourning to be ... continue reading...

EP 87: The Riches of Poverty (Matthew 5:3 – Sermon on the Mount Series)

by Marci Ferrell
Bible Study Christian Living Podcast Sermon on the Mount Theology

The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who realize and confess their spiritual bankruptcy before the Lord.  #sermononthemount #matthew5:3 #poorinspirit @mferrell

The Sermon on the Mount lays out for us what it means to be a citizen of Christ's kingdom. The chapters we're working through in Matthew 5-7 layout for us what the Lord desires of those who profess Christ. It describes what our inward and outward desires and actions should look like of those who profess to be in Christ. As we continue on in this current series, our text today is Matthew 5:3: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "There is no-one in the ... continue reading...

Dear friends, I recorded this episode last year af Dear friends, I recorded this episode last year after sharing my testimony with my church family. It was one of the hardest podcast episodes to work through. ⁣
⁣
My testimony comes from one who remembers what it was like to be unsaved and seeking an abortion and now coming from the other side of being born again, a new creation in Christ and understanding the beauty of forgiveness and redemption in Christ. ⁣
⁣
No sin is beyond the grace and forgiveness of God, even the sin of abortion. True forgiveness, hope, and healing can only be found, but it is only found in Jesus Christ. ⁣
I pray you'll listen in if you haven't yet. ⁣

“The Christian's primary need is for wisdom and “The Christian's primary need is for wisdom and obedience to appropriate the abundance of blessings the Lord has already given. Our problem is not lack of blessings, but lack of insight and wisdom to understand and use them properly and faithfully.”⁣

Charles Spurgeon on gentleness and respect:⁣ Ha Charles Spurgeon on  gentleness and respect:⁣
Have your doctrinal views, and all your knowledge of Christ, packed away in a handy form so that, when people want to know what you believe, you can tell them. If they wish to know why you believe that you are saved, have your answer all ready in a few plain, simple sentences; and in the gentlest and most modest spirit make your confession of faith to the praise and glory of God. Who knows but what such good seed will bring forth an abundant harvest?⁣
