Blessed are the Meek
In his latest sermon, Pastor Rick continued exploring the Beatitudes, focusing on “Blessed are the meek” and “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.” He explained that meekness is not weakness, using Moses as a biblical example of someone described as meek yet a powerful leader. Pastor Rick identified four main obstacles to meekness: pride, guilt, fear, and worry. He emphasized that meekness comes through yielding to the Holy Spirit, who naturally produces this fruit in believers who remain connected to Christ. The sermon built upon previous teachings about being poor in spirit and mourning over sin, showing how these beatitudes create a progression of spiritual growth.
