Blessed Are Those Who Mourn (Matthew 5:4 - Sermon on the Mount Series)

<p>True spiritual mourning produces a hatred for our sin and a repentant heart that desires to be in a right relationship with the Lord. We should desire to be holy as God is holy.</p> <p>Mourning is to be our lifestyle. It’s not just a one time moment when we first came to a recognition of our utter spiritual poverty before the Lord - it is a continual part of our lives as believers</p> <p>We want to cultivate hearts that are sensitive to the sin our lives and mourn over them. We want our mourning to be genuine not just an emotional reaction or because we got caught but that there is true confession and repentance and genuine mourning</p> <p>As we continue on in this current series, our text today is Matthew 5:4: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. </p> <p>HELPFUL LINKS:</p> <p>Head over to <a href='https://thankfulhomemaker.com/ep-87-the-riches-of-poverty-matthew-53-sermon-on-the-mount-series/'>ThankfulHomemaker.com</a> for full show notes.</p> <p>All episodes in the <a href='https://thankfulhomemaker.com/category/christian-living/sermon-on-the-mount/'>Sermon on the Mount Series at the blog</a></p> <p><a href='https://amzn.to/2ZLEFjN'>Studies in the Sermon on the Mount </a>by Martyn Lloyd Jones</p> <p>SOCIAL:</p> <p><a href='https://thankfulhomemaker.com/free-library/'>Join Thankful Homemaker for access to the Free Library of Resources</a></p> <p>Follow <a href='https://thankfulhomemaker.com'>ThankfulHomemaker</a> on <a href='https://www.facebook.com/thankfulhomemaker'>Facebook</a>, <a href='https://www.pinterest.com/mferrell/'>Pinterest</a> & <a href='https://www.instagram.com/thankfulhomemaker/'>Instagram</a></p> <p>Join the <a href='https://www.facebook.com/groups/1301046570003668/'>Thankful Homemaker Facebook Group</a></p> <p><a href='https://thankfulhomemaker.com/podcast/'>Subscribe to the Podcast on Your Favorite App </a></p> <p><a href='https://thankfulhomemaker.com/store/'>Thankful Homemaker Merchandise</a></p> <p> </p>
