For far too long, the Beatitudes have been misunderstood as a daunting checklist of requirements for believers to meet to gain the promises at the end of each statement. Preaching the Beatitudes with this interpretation places unnecessary pressure upon believers to meet such high standards. Help believers break free from the burden of trying to make their lives match the Beatitudes by showing them that, in Christ, they already fulfill them. This book aims to help preachers preach the Beatitudes as a vibrant profile of believers already in Christ. Each Beatitude is not a duty to fulfill, but a promise to claim--promises that allow the believer to live in a state of flourishing in the present, not waiting till they reach heaven. In these perilous times, believers need reminding of their identity in Christ and the promises that come with it. Through an in-depth exploration of the Greek word makarios, this book illuminates Christ's intent when giving the Beatitudes to his disciples, showing how every believer can live in flourishing state due to the present and future promises Christ gives in each statement. May readers rediscover the promises and assurance Jesus gives to all believers at the beginning of the greatest sermon ever preached, the Sermon on the Mount.

Reviews for Preaching the Beatitudes for the Glory of God

""I am grateful for the research and reflection presented in this work. I believe it will be of benefit to earnest pastors seeking to communicate God's encouragement to the saints. This is a preaching text drawn from the heart of a preacher who wants simply to feed Christ's lambs."" --Andrew Curry, senior pastor, Emmanuel Baptist Church, Northern Ireland, from the foreword ""Dr. Brown's insightful exploration of the blessings in the Sermon on the Mount is deeply challenging and profoundly encouraging. His careful handling of the text reflects a commitment to faithful interpretation, offering readers rich spiritual nourishment. This work illuminates the biblical message and inspires practical application. Readers will be edified and enriched as they engage with Dr. Brown's thoughtful exposition."" --John Nicholas, Grace Reformed Church, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania ""Christ's preaching ministry captured minds, changed hearts, convicted sinners, and crossed cultures. The Beatitudes are likely his most memorable sayings yet are often the most misunderstood. Dr. Brown presents an exceptional study on this topic. This book is a must have for expository preachers because it presents the essential tools to preach the beatitudes for God's glory."" --Bryan Ratliff, senior pastor, Clearbrook Baptist Church
