Godly Success: The Sermon Says It All (Randy)
We are in a series exploring how God defines success. Two
weeks ago, we introduced the idea that we are so heavily influenced by our
fallen state and the culture in which we live that we are prone to define
success in secular terms: We want to be happy and fulfilled, and we expect to
get there by achieving some purpose such as accumulating money, power, fame,
beauty, comfort, relationships, and more. All of these are means by which we
attempt to control our world, attain self-worth, and satisfy the void in our
soul, but none of them can fully satisfy us, and all of them will disappoint us
at some point or another.
God defines success very differently, and we are fortunate
that Jesus lays out that definition in the Sermon on the Mount. There’s no
place in the Bible where we get a better view into how God wants us to live our
lives. But, reading the Sermon on the Mount can be devastating. Who can live up
to such a standard
In this lesson, we go straight to the heart of the gospel to
define how God views success and wants us to live our lives.
