Blessed Are the Meek | Matthew 5:5 Sermon

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5) In this sermon, we continue our study of the Beatitudes by examining biblical meekness. The world often mistakes meekness for weakness, but Jesus shows us that meekness is strength under control — a life fully surrendered to God. This lesson examines: • What meekness really means • Why meekness is not weakness • Examples of meekness in Moses, David, and especially Jesus Christ • How Christians can develop meekness • The blessings promised to the meek Scripture References: Matthew 5:5 Numbers 12:3 Psalm 37 Matthew 11:28-30 John 8:1-11 John 2:13-17 Matthew 26:39, 53 James 1:19-21 1 Timothy 6:6-8 Presentation Slides / Notes: Download the presentation PDF: https://kempnerchurchofchrist.org/i/u...
