Crestline First Baptist Church

Matthew 5:9 God wants us to be peacemakers inside the church and in our communities.

Matthew 5:8 NIV - "8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

Matthew 5:7 NIV - "7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." When we understand how God has shown us mercy when we do not deserve it, we are moved to show mercy to others. God is compassionate and we need to show the same compassion.

Matthew 5:6 When we seek God and to be like him, we are promised to find Him. So it is when we strive to be like God in His righteousness.

Matthew 5:5 When we surrender to Jesus, we allow the Spirit to take control. One of the special fruit of the spirit controlled life is gentleness also called meekness. It is described as anger, strength, or power under control. Humbled by our sin, we let the Spirit take control.
