Reflections From Sunday

It was good being back with the family at Gateway Fellowship this week. After a week long vacation with my beautiful family, I was ready to get back and teach again. This Sunday we looked at part4 of our series over The Beatitudes. It is a tremendous joy to serve along side the team here and I am always blessed to see what the Lord is doing in, to and through those who are a part of our community. Scott Finch did a great job leading us in worship this past Sunday. If you were not able to be with us this past Sunday, you can catch the video of the service here at GatewayTV

Here is what we looked at this past Sunday::
The Beatitudes part4
July 11, 2010

1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.


* meekness does not equate to weakness

* meekness brings the inheritance of the whole earth.

* meekness, how do I get there

1. esteem others better than yourself
2. your attitude to the word of God
3. your attitude to your brothers and sisters
4. your attitude to those that you disagree with
5. your attitude to the unconvinced (those who are still searching)
