2022 THEME: For Such a Time. . .

Series: 8 Cures

TITLE: A Radical Pursuit

Scripture:  Matthew 5: 6

I.   THE IMPORTANCE OF HUNGER             

3 examples found in the Bible:

1) Isaiah 14
2) Daniel 4: 29-32
3) Luke 12

Lucifer hungered for (power). Nebuchadnezzar hungered for (praise). The rich fool hungered for (pleasure). Because they hungered for the wrong things, they rejected God’s (good things), and (forfeited) both.

II.  THE HUNGER REWARDED      

The Greek words Jesus uses mean (deep hunger) and (genuine thirst).

 This Beatitude does away with sleek, self-satisfied, half-hearted religion. We must never be (spiritually satisfied).

Biblical examples of this truth abound:

1. Exodus 33:18
2. Psalm 42:1
3. Philippians 3:10

The Greek word for filled means “to be (absolutely satisfied).
