Sermons About Matthew
Jesus Wants To Break Your Heart
In what's commonly called "The Beatitudes", Jesus taught his followers what it truly means to live a life that is "blessed" by God. Their ideas of "blessing" were turned upside-down by Christ's teaching, and so this series on the Beatitudes is titled "The Upside-Down Life". Jesus taught that those who mourn are "blessed". What did he mean when he said this? We'll see here that the heart that mourns is a heart that is compassionate for others, a heart that is contrite over its own sin, and a heart that will be comforted by Jesus.

Only a Few are Truly Saved
My aim today is to ask you, plead with you, and beg you to consider if you are genuinely converted. Romans 8:16 says “The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.” And today I simply want you to take a careful look at your soul and ask yourself, “Am I real?” The Sermon on the Mount comes down to this question.

Blessed are the Bankrupt
In what's commonly called "The Beatitudes", Jesus taught his followers what it truly means to live a life that is "blessed" by God. Their ideas of "blessing" were turned upside-down by Christ's teaching, and so this new series on the Beatitudes is called "The Upside-Down Life". In this first sermon in the series, Greg Blosser expounds on what Jesus meant when he said "Blessed are the poor in spirit". Here we'll see that the life blessed by God is blessed with the Kingdom of God, the knowledge of God, and the grace of God.

Expect Good Things from God
You could boil this passage down with this statement: bank your prayer life on God’s love for you. It seems that Jesus wants to encourage his disciples to keep praying, but he is not just calling them to be persistent; the call is different. Perseverance in prayer is certainly a part of the equation but it is not the end-game here. Jesus’ goal is to call his disciples to pray from a robust understanding of God’s love for them. The critical phrase for this passage is found in verse 11: “how much more.” Jesus wants for his followers to pray with the “how-much-moreness” of God in mind. He aims to motivate pray by God-centered encouragement.

Do Not Judge
Our text this morning covers the subject of judging. This is a very important subject because Matthew 7:1 is one of the most frequently quoted verses by people outside the church. I’m sure you heard it said with a snarl and sarcasm – “Don’t judge let you be judged.” But it is important for another reason. The sin of judgmentalism is far too common in the body of Christ. Religious people are prone to be guilty of a nasty tones, condescending looks, and condemning words. So this issue is important for at least two reasons. To address this touchy subject Jesus uses a familiar teaching formula: command, warning, and solution.
