But Jesus presents meekness as a Spirit-shaped strength: the steadiness of a “heavy bag” that absorbs insult without lashing out, and the yielded power of a “broken and bridled” horse led by its rider.\nIn this message, Pastor Seth:\n- Explores the nature of biblical meekness (or gentleness)  \n- Looks at examples of meekness in Moses, Paul, and Jesus  \n- Talks about how daily, deliberate discipleship forms meekness in us  \n- Points us to the staggering promise that the meek will inherit not just the land, but the whole earth in Christ  \nThis sermon is part of our Beatitudes study in “The Good Life,” where we learn how Jesus turns the values of the world upside down and invites us into a better way to live.\n00:00 - Introduction\n08:30 - The Nature of Meekness\n14:12 - The Meekness of Moses\n16:51 - The Meekness of Paul\n19:25 - The Meekness of Jesus\n28:16 - How We Become Meek\n34:10 - What the Meek Inherit\n**HOW TO FIND US*** \nSUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZ\nFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ \nINSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/\nWEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/GXBDgMRY5m7yxi_HlS4goT2oQ2OZEF4Z7EEPKUzxBTY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzIzMTg1LzE3MDQ5/MjA2NzYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
