Going Off Script
Week 3: Full of it
May 16, 2010
Pastor Jon Hand
Matthew 5 - Blessed are the Meek for they shall inherit the earth.
Listen to Sermon: Full of it
Thoughts from the talk:
Conquers inherit the earth. The affluent inherit the earth. Those with power and position inherit the earth–not the meek? Right!
Meekness is controlled strength. It’s not about losing confidence, or being passive, or lacking power and strength. It’s about capturing it and using it to empower.
What would happen if the meek actually had been running Wall Street?
Sometimes we forget that Jesus is inviting us into a life that isn’t different from his but a life that’s a reflection of his.
“Inherit” implies relationship.
Questions for the soul:
Do you believe you have power? What does that look like for you?
What does it look like for you to use your power (time, resources, family, relationships, money) to empower someone else?
