Our sermon this week comes from the fifth beatitude found in [esvignore]Matthew 5:7[/esvignore]. We will examine a lot of scripture this week as we enter “The Mercy Test.” This is a very convicting topic for me personally, and I pray it will be for you as well. Please pray that we would come with tender hearts to receive the Word of God…

Sermons on Matthew (Page 7)
Our sermon is entitled Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness and is the fourth beatitude, taken from [esvignore]Matthew 5:6[/esvignore]. This message has at its core several challenging questions about our priorities. It is the culmination of the previous three statements by Jesus, and we will find great exhortation here. Our outline will be: Blessed Righteousness Exhortation How? Public reading: [esvignore]Psalm 107:1-9[/esvignore]; Benediction: [esvignore]Matthew…
This Lord’s Day we get to look at [esvignore]Matthew 5:5[/esvignore], the beatitude of meekness. How on earth do the meek gain the whole earth by inheritance, and what is it to be meek? These are our questions. We’ll ask two questions, first, what is it to be meek? Second, why do we inherit the earth, and during both we shall cover the…
We come to the next beatitude, “blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Here we discover the reality of Christian life – that though our burdens are lifted by the cross, we still mourn. And we mourn over the remaining sin in our lives, the sin all around us and the sin that so destroys. What does this look…
Our message follows on from last week’s intro to the Sermon on the Mount. We get into the Beatitudes for the next eight weeks, a series of blessings pronounced by Jesus, and will begin with the first one here. Our sermon, then, is aptly entitled, Blessed are the Poor in Spirit. What does it mean, how does it apply, how does it launch into the…
This week’s sermon is a continuation of our study of the gospel of Matthew, but since it is a Fifth Sunday Topical, providentially, we have a topical sermon. In this message, we will introduce the Sermon on the Mount. The message is entitled “Breaking the Status Quo: An Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount” and is launching from [esvignore]Matthew 5:1-2[/esvignore]. We will…
Our sermon is entitled “Follow Me” and will be taken from [esvignore]Matthew 4:12-25[/esvignore]. As we move through the gospel verse by verse, here we encounter the calling of the first four disciples. This is an easily overlooked passage in the gospel of Matthew, the meat of the story of Christ’s introduction is over, and the Sermon on the Mount begins in the…
This Sunday our sermon is entitled “The Temptation of Jesus” and is drawn from [esvignore]Matthew 4:1-12[/esvignore]. Here we learn some important facts about our Lord’s ministry and how important such a story really is in the larger plan of the gospel. We also learn some very important practical lessons for daily living that will almost certainly offend our worldly side a little,…
Our sermon is entitled, “The Baptism of Jesus.” We come to the first of our Lord’s true active ministry actions in this passage. Up to now, we have been speaking all about the Lord as Matthew has been introducing Him, showing us that He is the Messiah from the testimony of prophets and scripture. But now, the Lord speak for Himself. In…
This week we continue in the ministry of the Word in Matthew’s gospel. Our message is and is taken from [esvignore]Matthew 3:1-12[/esvignore]. Here we are introduced to John the Baptist, but unlike other gospel writers, Matthew gets right to the meat of John’s purpose – repentance, and the urgency of repenting. John is the forerunner, we learned about him in the Gospel…
