As we come to the close of this series on the Beatitudes, we reach one of the most challenging yet powerful statements from Jesus: Matthew 5:10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Persecution is not something we like to talk about. It’s uncomfortable, it’s painful,…
Peacemakers
Hi, and thank you for taking the time to listen to my podcast. As I’ve said many times before, this has not gotten the attention that it deserves. But, like The prodigal son I keep coming back to where I need to be. We are getting close to the end of our study of…
Purity Is Not An Assurity
Hi there, my name is Tony and today we’re going to continue our study of the beatitudes and how it applies to our lives. This study has special meaning for me because the Celebrate Recovery program that I attend is based entirely on the beatitudes. CR is a 12-step Christ Centered program for life’s hurts…
Oh Mercy Me

A Day Of Mourning
Hi and welcome to another episode of perspective for today. Today we’re going to continue with our study of the Beatitudes. Previously we looked at Matthew 5:3 which talked about the poor in spirit. Those who are poor in spirit are totally dependent on God to meet all their needs. We try to be…
Poor In Spirit
Thank you for tuning in today. In today’s lesson we are going to start to explore the Beatitudes in Matthew chapter 5. The word Beatitude, in Latin, Beatitudo, means Blessedness. That blessedness is reserved for those who exhibit the qualities and experiences similar to those in the Kingdom of heaven. So let’s look at…
Fear
It’s been over a month since my last podcast. My dad passed away on October 9th and since that time I’ve been helping my mom with making arrangements for Dad’s memorial service and burial. My dad suffered from dementia and it tested my faith as well as my mom’s. My mom was my dad’s…
Trust And Obey
Hi and welcome back. Today we are going to look at the subject of trust and why for some trust just doesn’t come easy. I had a friend whose name was Richie. I was one of the few people that Richie would allow to get near him. He had a wall around him that…
