If you're running all around town to find your blessing, you're looking in the wrong location.

Dr. Tony Evans says nothing physical or material can meet the real needs we have inside.

Blessings are not first and foremost defined by the external stuff.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

We spend a lot of time asking for God's blessings, but Dr. Evans points out that many times we don't recognize the ones we already have.

He'll help us take off the blinders today as he talks about the anatomy of a

blessing. The sermon on the Mount is the greatest sermon ever preached by the greatest preacher

who ever lived. Jesus Christ proclaims this masterpiece. Jesus saw the crowds, verse one says,

of Matthew 5. He went up on the mountain.

After he sat down, his disciples came to him.

He opened up his mouth and he began to teach them.

The purpose of the sermon on the Mount where we will find the beatitudes.

The purpose of the sermon on the Mount was to teach kingdom kids the principles of kingdom living. It was to teach kingdom kids the principles of kingdom living.

It was to teach kingdom kids the principles of kingdom living.

Throughout this sermon, Jesus will address the major problem that people of his day

faced, that people of our day faced, and that is to look at your life from the outside in.

The worst thing you can do is view your life

from the outside in.

That is, start from what's happening out there

to determine how you're doing in here.

A blessing is the state of well-being where the kingdom of followers of Christ enjoy and extend

the goodness of God in their lives.
