Theme: The Beatitudes
Happy New Year!!!
The introductory notes to the 2022 quarter 1 sermon series fittingly reminds us that the dawn of a new year is a drawing closer of the coming of the Lord. And we need to live as those who are eagerly expecting that coming of the Lord (2 Peter 3:11).
So, we start the year with a look at the Beatitudes. The goal is to help us understand the nature of kingdom blessing. This happens to be the opening topic of the quarter series. See attached outline for our reference.
Key learning points include:
1. God never intended for us to labor, “toil and spin” to access the blessing of the Kingdom of God. He does not want us to go running after miracles but after Him.
2. The divine blessing is an automatic right for every citizen of the Kingdom. We are joint heirs with Christ!
3. Obedience to God is the only route to access divine blessing. Good works, prayer, fasting, tithing and other religious observances cannot replace obedience.
As we step into 2022, may God grant grace to enable us to daily live conscious of how much closer Christ’s coming is.
