God meets with people right at the end of their ropes. He stands to meet us right at the end of the runway of our own capabilities and self-assuredness.
Sermon Notes – 7 October 2018 – Blessed are the Poor in Spirit: Matthew 5:3
Sermon Notes – 28 October 2018 – Stay Thirsty (Matthew 5:6)
This week we reach a beatitude that at first seems to make no sense. It seems to make no sense because it again flies in the face of the common wisdom of that day and the common wisdom of today. But, it also seems self-defeating and borderline contradictory as a statement. In essence, Jesus is going to say that the dissatisfied will be the most satisfied.
