Worshipology

Episode 17: "Salt and Light for the Glory of God"

Right after the beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-12, Jesus addresses His disciples as salt and light on the earth. As a true worshipper, you will have an impact on the world. What will people see through your life? Will it be Christ or someone else? Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he works through Matthew 5:13-16 and its implications for believers. Tune in to be both encouraged and challenged.

Episode 16: "From Persecution to a Great Reward"

Perhaps the hardest beatitude, Matthew 5:10-12 confronts true worshippers with the reality that a God-filled life will lead to opposition and even persecution. But take heart! Christ has promised a great reward for those who persevere. Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks these verses and gives his final thoughts on the beatitudes.

Episode 15: "Peacemakers are Sons and Daughters of God"

What does it mean to be a peacemaker? Jesus's Sermon on the Mount tells us that peace comes when true worshippers actively sow good things in places where conflict abounds. Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks Matthew 5:9 and its implications for believers. Jesus paid the highest cost to grant us peace before God the Father, and true worshippers are called to follow His example. In doing so, we show the world that we belong to Him.

Episode 14: "Pure Hearts See God"

Matthew 5:8 tells us that pure hearts will see God. However, if our hearts are sinful (Jeremiah 17:9, Matthew 15:19), how do we get them pure? What a great question! Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks this verse and shows how God can both purify and keep cleaning our hearts so that we can see Him now and into eternity.

Episode 13: "Mercy: God's Will, Christ's Heart"

As true worshippers, how do we align with God's will and match Jesus's heart? We show mercy! Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks Matthew 5:7 and its implications. As the Christ-Centered Exposition Series says, "Mercy known is mercy shown." You don't want to miss this episode.

Episode 12: "Hungry and Thirsty for Righteousness, Satisfied in Christ"

Are you tired of feeding and drinking from this world only to end up hungrier and thirstier? Do you long for true satisfaction? You can have that! Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks Matthew 5:6. When we hunger for Christ Himself, Christ in us, and Christ in the world; the Bible promises us that we will be filled and satisfied- first in this life, but most in the next. Come be encouraged by this episode.

Episode 11: "From Loss to Inheritance, the Meek Will Inherit the Earth"

In a world where it seems only the strong end up on top, meekness is not always an attractive quality. However, Jesus promises an incredible inheritance for those who are meek. Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks Matthew 5:5. Will meekness mean losing some in this life? Yes, it is highly possible. However, will meekness gain us an inheritance far greater than the fading things of this world? Absolutely. Hold on, Christian, for blessed are the meek.

Episode 10: "The Sting of Mourning and the Sweetness of Comfort"

Surely Jesus can't be serious when He says in Matthew 5:4 that we are blessed when we mourn! We want to live happy and joyful lives, and mourning doesn't seem to contribute to that. However, join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks this beatitude and its implications for the true worshipper. Though mourning may sting, Jesus has promised that comfort will follow to bring healing and hope.

Episode 9: "Poor in Spirit and the Kingdom of Heaven"

What does it mean for Christians to be poor in spirit in Matthew 5:3? Jesus promises the Kingdom of Heaven to those that are. It is not always easy, but it is always worth it. Tune in for some encouragement from Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks what this means for true worshippers.

Episode 8: True Worshippers See Things Differently

If our identity as true worshippers is different from the world, the way we see the world will be different too. Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he begins a series on Jesus's Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7. Living out these passages may not make sense to many, and it will require losing things that the world says is important. So, is it worth it? Christian, the answer is... absolutely.
