Today we look at the word Righteousness. What does Jesus mean when he says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness."? His promise is that the blessing is we will be satisfied and fulfilled.

Beginning to jump around a bit in our series looking at Matthew 5:3-12, the "Beatitudes", we are going to look at 5:5 and 5:8 today, and ask the question, "Where is your heart at?" Jesus cares about the heart because out of the heart flow action. Our hearts determine our lives. Where we set our affections, where we place our devotion, will dictate the decisions we make in life.

As we continue our journey through Matthew 5:3-12 we look at what it means to truly feel. Jesus said that we are blessed when we mourn because in our mourning we can experience His comfort. But that requires two things of us. First, to feel, to grieve, to mourn. And second, to turn to Him for comfort.

In our new series Could I Be Happier?, we are looking at what Jesus said about being happy. Not based on our circumstances, but regardless of them! Could it be that the things we are going through are actually meant to bring us to a place of true contentment in Christ?

Community is a word we use often to simply just mean, "A group of people in the same location doing the same thing." But it means so much more. And one of our highest goals here at Cutler Bay Worship Center is to grow in and be a place of healthy community!

In our last week of this series, we look at the fact that no matter who we are we need God. Even kings & queens need the King of Kings!

As we continue to look at the life of David, we move from the external giants, like Goliath, to the internal giants that we face. David didn't do everything perfect. In fact, he failed quite spectacularly. And in our lives we can learn from his mistakes, and learned from how he dealt with them.

In our new series, Here My Cry! we are looking at the life of David, who would become King, but didn't have an easy road on that way to that point, OR after! Scripture says that David was a man after God's heart. But what does that mean? He surely didn't get it right all the time. So how do we treat David, as a success, as a failure, or as something else?

What does it mean to be a gatekeeper? You are a gatekeeper of your own life, of your home and of your family... As we begin this new school year, let's take a minute to ask how we can best help our kids thrive and prosper in life!

In wrapping up this series we'll look at what Jesus said about the commandments. He quotes the commandments to those who ask. He instructs them to be followed. But He also goes beyond that and draws people into Him, the Living Word.

So often what gets us walking outside of God's instructions for a good life is that we don't feel content with what we have, aren't sure of who He is, and decide we need to sort that out for ourselves... This is not God's way! His instructions are meant to lead us to life, if we follow His voice!

Long before a commandment is followed or broken, the battle is for the heart - the place of our affections. Where we choose to believe. Where we choose to commit. Where we choose to follow.

As we continue on our journey through Exodus 20 and looking at the Ten Commandments, asking, "Are these still relevant?" we find that the world around us does not always reflect what Scripture says. Does that mean what scripture says is no longer relevant, or does that mean we must re-evaluate our own lives and be dedicated to God's ways?

As we start this new series on the 10 Commandments we're asking the question, Are God's commandments still relevant for today? God gives us instruction because he's wanting to lead us. Jesus said he was the good shepherd and as his sheep we would hear his voice and have the invitation to follow. Today we look at the first two commandments.

The world is noisy, and worship is one of the ways we can reach out to God. And it is the heart behind our worship that reaches out to Him, and when we do He reaches toward us. We draw close to Him and He draws close to us.

When Jesus calls us to follow him, he is calling us into a life of intentional living. Daily pursuit, not just a one time acceptance of his grace. We know that God is always with us, we are in fact the temple of the Holy Spirit, and yet, when we intentionally focus on Him, when we intentionally pursue Him, He meets us!

We've asked, what are we reaching for? Let's ask who is reaching out to us. Jesus is forever reaching toward us, inviting us to follow him. Will we answer the call?

In this new series we're taking a look at what it means to reach after the things of God. Are we meant to sit back and wait for God to act, or are we meant to reach out for what God wants to do? Today we look at reaching after healing!

As we wrap up our What's Love Got To Do With It? series, and we celebrate Pentecost Sunday, the day where the Father fulfilled his promise of sending the Holy Spirit to the church, we look at what it means to endure in love, to hope in all situations, have faith, press on and doing so in the power of the Holy Spirit.

We would probably say good vs. evil, unrighteousness vs. righteousness.... but Paul says that love doesn't rejoice in wrongdoing, but instead of saying the opposite is doing what is right, he says, love rejoices in the truth.... And what does it mean to rejoice in wrongdoing, or rejoice in the truth?
