#BLESSED | Who is blessed | June 6 2021

Published: June 11, 2021, 3:20 p.m.

Pastor Steve unpacks the opening to Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount, which can be found in Mathew 5:1-12. Come on out and hear as we start to uncover how to get involved in the work that Jesus is talking about in this pivotal passage so that we can get a better understanding of just who is #blessed

You may think that your small action couldn't possibly spark the upside-down change of the Gutenberg press an idea that literally changed the world. But, if you choose to follow Jesus and seek to follow His way then in partnership with His Spirit your God-given gifts may just turn the world upside down for one person as you participate in God's Kingdom building work.

Prayer based on Mathew 5:1-10 from Pastor Steve's Sermon

Lord, Thank You for blessing us - for not leaving us in our poor state but instead choosing to bless us. Help us to be good examples of Your love in our neighbourhoods, blessing them in your name so that they can experience full kingdom life today.

Thank You for blessing us with your presence as we have mourned - Your Spirit comforted us - help us to comfort those around us.

Help us Lord to remain humble. Help us to remember the whole earth is Yours, and we work to care and steward it only. May others experience your love, your presence through our stewardship of every gift you give us.

Lord, we pray that you would hear the cries of those seeking justice. We pray that as their cries continue, they would not lose hope. May we remind them of you and your justice as we stand alongside them as they seek justice.

God, bless all those who have shown us mercy - help me, help us to be merciful as you have been merciful.

God, we pray that Your blessing comes to all those who are pure of heart. May they see you constantly at work in and around them. Help us grow day by day in purity to grow in awareness of Your presence.

God, bless all those who are seeking peace, who work for it. May we teach them the truth as we call them Your children and join them in their pursuit of peace.

Lord, help us be aware of those who are being persecuted for doing the right thing, just for saying yes to working with your Spirit. Help us bring your Kingdom invitation out to them and all Your Children.

God, we pray that we would never lose sight of your vision, that your Kingdom would arrive here on earth, that your will would be done right here. That is what we pray, Lord, that Your will be done here on earth as in Heaven. AMEN.
