Over the next several weeks, we are going to be camping out in a section of the Gospel of Matthew, specifically chapters 5-7. These chapters make up the Sermon on the Mount, the most famous sermon Jesus preached during His earthly ministry. And as we kick off our study of this section of Scripture, we will begin with the Beatitudes, listed in chapter 5. The Beatitudes tell us how to enter the Kingdom of God, how to express the Kingdom of God, and how to enjoy the Kingdom of God. Jesus begins by telling us this, “You will never be filled with God until you realize you are empty without him.” Or to put it another way, “You will never be blessed by God until you admit you are bankrupt without Him.” Jesus makes it clear that the first step to being different, to finding significance and satisfaction in life, is to declare bankruptcy. Let’s dive in to see what this means.

Understanding the Beauty in the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes

Jenny Tedbury speaking on 'The Beatitudes'

Continuing to look at Jesus' teachings on the Mount, Jenny unpacks to us the Beatitudes. Starting off by explaining what it means when Jesus says we will be blessed, as well as looking into each of the Beatitudes and how we can apply them to our lives.

The Beatitudes

Jesus nooi ons uit om "arm van gees" te word. Die woord "arm" beteken "the very empty ones, those who are crouching," en Cynthia Bourgeault vertaal dit met "pouring empty into empty.

Blessed Are The Meek - Pastor Zack Hensley - 2024-09-22

Matthew 7 concludes our series on 'Communications of the King,' which started in Matthew 4, discussing the Holy Spirit's role in Jesus' ministry and the lives of the individual as the follow Jesus. The ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer is seen by the work He completes in the life of the believer by doing a thorough makeover of equipping the value systems of the Lord as Jesus expounded upon through the Sermon on the Mount. Our study together emphasizes the importance of evaluating our thoughts and judgments according to God's standards rather than personal or cultural ones. We discuss themes such as the inner spiritual life, materialism, anxiety, and unconditional love. We should evaluate things by careful and fair judgment, self-examination, and aligning actions and thoughts with God's Word. When we do a thorough examination of various scriptures which highlight the dangers of legalism, improper evaluations, and the necessity of God's grace and forgiveness we see that following the former is incredibly damaging to our spiritual life and relationship with the Lord and how the Lord intended our relationship to be with others.

Blessed Are The Hungry - Pastor Zack Hensley - 2024-10-06

Carrollton Christian Fellowship is a Non Denominational church plant and a fellowship of Christians who gather together, not for denominational differences, but for growing in the knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ and His Word.

Carrollton Christian Fellowship exists for the purpose of:
 "for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" Eph 4:12-13

We want to help you discover the reality of Christianity!

Create. Inspire. Repeat. Soul-inspired music.

Reproducing the full life of Jesus by discipling one another in missional congregations where everyone knows your name.

At PBC our longing is that people encounter the Lord Himself. 
We regularly pray that someone who joins us will be drawn to some inescapable conclusions:

“God is really among you!”

“Look how you love one another!”

And that after ministry their sense would be that “God did that!” This leaves us dependent upon God because ultimately it is about whether He does this or not.

We are passionate about the “finished product”, which ironically is something that will never be finished in this life. That “product” is not a big congregation or a new building or great services or a profile in the community. The “product” is ultimately personal and concerns who and what we are becoming. We believe that we are on this earth to discover, live out and pass on what it means to be whole-hearted followers of Jesus.

Sunday services are:
CLASSIC - 9am (WhatsApp)
EXPLORE - 9am (Pinehurst Primary)
EVENING - 4.30pm (Various)

We want to see lives transformed by the power of Christ.
