Gathering 203: “Blessed are…the Meek”

Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, the humble and the gentle...for they will inherit the earth." Meekness, gentleness, and humility are all notable traits. Unfortunately, it's those very traits that are often exploited by the boastful and belligerent. So, the question is, what kind of shape will the world be in when they inherit it? This Sunday, we continue our worship series on the eight Beatitudes from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Pastor Tony Minear, Ph.D. explores and compares what it meant to be meek in a first century Christian perspective to today’s 21st century definition. If you think meekness is passivity and submissiveness, listen and discover the power it possesses as a catalyst for self-discipline and choice. You have this power. Will you use it as a force for good?
