Rick Lancaster - April 2, 2023
Kingdom Character – Merciful! Matthew 5:7
Pastor Rick Lancaster continues a series in the gospel of Matthew: The Savior-King and His Kingdom. The fifth beatitude focuses on the importance of mercy. It was God’s mercy that saved us and carries us through this life. A Christian, who understands that, is going to try to be merciful. Matthew’s gospel serves as a bridge between the Old and New Testaments. Matthew seeks to prove to the Jews that Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah. For those of us who are not Jews, Matthew helps us to see our Savior-King more clearly and through his gospel learn to live well in Christ’s kingdom today.
