THE BLESSED LIFEMessage 4 of 8 The Blessing of Emptiness
Dr. McKay Caston, Pastor of Preaching and Leadership
TODAYS KEY BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
THE BIG IDEA: ___________________________________________________________.
MY NOTES:
QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION & DISCUSSION:
1) On a scale of 1-5, how spiritually dehydrated do you feel?
2) What is your spiritual junk food (idol) of choice (health, wealth, comfort, approval, power, etc.)?
3) What would your life look if you exchanged that idols promises for the positional righteousness ofJesus? What do you think would be most challenging about making this exchange?
4) Read Galatians 5:22-23 for a picture of spiritual fruitfulness (or, practical righteousness). From wheredoes this practical righteousness/spiritual fruit come? Why do you think that practical righteousness(sanctification) follows and flows from positional righteousness (justification)?
