The Beatitudes (Luke 6:17-23) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

What responsibilities do Christians have toward the poor? In this sermon, R.C. Sproul examines Jesus’ Beatitudes as they are recorded in the gospel of Luke, beginning with the blessing Christ pronounces on the poor.

John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

That is the best defining words for blessed I have heard.

Great sermon! Pastor sproul used equality and equity in reverse. The Bible teaches equality, we are all equal under God. Marxism teaches equity, that everyone deserves exactly the same. Socialism covets that which they do not have, and therefore are entitled. That is why I have to chuckle when they say Jesus was a socialist. This argument between us and them is something I've studied in depth, and I've gotten other terms mixed up when speaking before the Church, it happens to all of us!

I don't understand his analogy of the NFL, as it's already very equal. There is a Draft (with the lowest ranking team getting first pick and the Superbowl winneer going last), the TV money is split equally, and there is a Salary Cap. Surly that is equality.

It is also evil for a company who makes millions in one week, to lay off employees, specially part time employees bringing home $268.90 a week.
If we are to ask our government to take care of the unemployed, hungry, unsheltered, and sick then we should also expect the government to assure that citizens who educate themselves, offer their experience to large corporations and get hired, to insist that companies keep their employees for a certain amount of time.

Mr. Sproul has created his own reality using ancient Hebrew scripture.

Did they get RC Sproul back from the dead to speak to the issues of 2022? That's amazing, but how dare they bring him back from the kingdom to just speak on Brandon's crooked presidency! Thou shalt not practice witchcraft😉! God bless!
