Out of this land, a bounty,
out of Your great blessing
the abundance that we share
the freedoms we cherish;
Free to serve You
our hearts unbound
from human troubles
by the lamb of God.
Pursuing blessedness
happiness not of the world
joy in our spirits instead
deeper, richer still;
Blessedness in His sermon
His teachings on the
mountain
the words of Christ
who lived and died
who went to the cross for us.

“This
Sunday my sermon is titled
“Pursuing
More Than Happiness,”
and
it is based on Matthew 5:1-13.
If
you have a few minutes to read
this
passage of scripture prior to attending the service,
you
might get a little more out of the sermon.
In
this sermon, I want to challenge us all
to
live with greater intentionality and to find
deeper
levels of meaning
for
our lives. Instant gratification can be the
enemy
of faithful living.
Intentionality
is the path to blessedness.”
