Review from a previous Wednesday Night Bible Study on not delaying change.
Matthew 5:1-12
Are you happy with Jesus in your life – or do you feel like something is missing?
What does it mean to be “blessed”?
Be poor in spirit – don’t think too highly of yourself; let your rewards be of the Lord.
When you mourn, let the Lord be your comfort.
Being meek is to be strong, but controllable. Be usable for others’ and God.
Hungry? Think about what it means to hunger and thirst after righteousness.
Don’t let living for the Lord be like eating leftovers.
God has been merciful to you – are you merciful to others?
Matthew 6:15-15
Psalms 18:25-26
Make sure your attitudes, intentions, ambitions, and actions are pure.
Psalms 24:1-10
Are you really into God? Do you want to see Heaven? Make sure you’re all cleaned-up.
Christians have to be able to take some heat. Living for Christ will upset those who live for this world.
Brief message from Sidney: You have to change your habits in order to increase in Christ.
