Kingdom Makers: Blessed Are the Merciful
Matthew 5:7
Pastor Jayson Workman
May 22, 2022
Introduction:
A life without mercy is a life without freedom or purpose.
- Consider the MAGNITUDE of mercy
- CHARACTERIZED by mercy
Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Quote: “Forgiveness isn’t a feeling. It is an action You don’t forgive and forget. You forgive and remember that you forgave.” —Joby Martin
Mercy GIVEN doesn’t mean mercy RETURNED.
- CONSUMED with the MISSION of mercy
Quote: “Start praying for an opportunity to point people to Jesus, and that’s a prayer that God can’t wait to answer.”
Quote: “If we had an accurate view of eternity (both the joy of heaven and the hopelessness of hell), everything would change about our priorities.”

Kingdom Makers: Blessed Are the Hungry
Matthew 5:6
Pastor Jayson Workman
May 15, 2022 — South Gate Baptist Church
Introduction:
Your hunger can be the pathway to personal blessing or burden.
- Hungry and not Happy
God is more concerned with WHO you are not WHAT you do.
You don’t know Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have.
Quote: “We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition, when infinite joy is offered to us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by an offer of holiday at sea, we are far too easily pleased.”
- Subtract the Substitutes
- Source of Satisfaction
Place of Righteousness
Pursuit of Righteousness
Purpose of Righteousness
Proverbs 11:19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues evil will die.

Kingdom-Makers: Meek
Pastor Jayson Workman
May 8, 2022
Matthew 5:5
Introduction:
A surrendered life is a secure life.
- A call to radical submission/surrender
Philippians 2:3-8 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
- A call to restful confidence
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
- A call to real purpose
Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Kingdom Manifesto: Blessed Are the Mourners
Worship Minister Derick Mickan
Matthew 5:4
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
THE BIG IDEA: Those who mourn over sin will receive comfort.
Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
- The self-righteous never discover satisfaction.
Matthew 23:11-12 The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
- Consequences of covering
Proverbs 28:13 Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
Psalm 32:3-4 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.
- Confession provides comfort.
Psalm 32:1-11
Kingdom-Makers mourn their sin but live on mission.

Romans 12:1–6
Pastor Jayson Workman

Introduction:
Each and every one of us has been uniquely created to serve God.
- Plea for sacrificial service (v. 1)

1 Peter 4:10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace. . . .
John Henry Newman, the author of Lead, Kindly Light, said, “God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not created to another. He has not created me for naught. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him. If in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. If in sorrow my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about!”

DNA: Commission
Matthew 20:20–28
Pastor Jayson Workman
South Gate Baptist—April 3, 2022
Healthy churches/disciples are servants.
- Greatness is not self-promotion. (vv. 20–21)
Greatness is not in position—it is in perseverance.
Philippians 2:3-5 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
- Greatness is not in power. (v. 25)
Philippians 2:6-8 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
- Greatness is found in serving. (vv. 27–28)
Quote: “True Christianity is not about adding Jesus to your life. Instead, it is about devoting myself completely to Him—submitting wholly to His will and seeking to please Him above all else.”
3 John 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
2 Corinthians 4:18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.

DNA - Community
Acts 2:41–42
Pastor Jayson Workman
South Gate Baptist Church - March 27, 2022
Introduction:
Healthy disciples/churches are INTERDEPENDENT
- Community is Built Through a Devotion to Truth. (v. 42)
- Community is Built Through Devoted Fellowship (v. 42)
Quote: “Biblical community is first of all the sharing of common life in Christ.” —J.D. Grear
Objection to community
A. I don’t have anything in common.

C. I don’t want to be betrayed
Opportunity of community
A. Affection for each other
Romans 12:9-10 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
B. Accountability to one another
Who asked you this week . . .
- If you read your Bible this week? If you spent time in prayer?
- How you treated your family? Spouse? Children?
- If you shared Christ this week?
- If you kept your mind pure?
- If you gossiped? If you lied?

DNA—Our Identity
Acts 2:41-42
Pastor Jayson Workman
South Gate Baptist — March 13, 2021
We want to be a MOVEMENT, not an institution. MOVEMENTS, by definition, move, and if you’re not moving, you're not part of the movement.
A church is a church because it makes and multiples disciples.
- Christ (v. 41)
2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
Commences at salvation (v. 41a)
Continues with identification (v. 41b)
Cultivated through worship
Psalm 63:1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Matthew 28:17 And when they saw him they worshiped him,
Hebrews 10:25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
- Community (vv. 42–46)
Through Teaching (v. 42)
Through Devoted Fellowship
Quote: “Teaching content will bring a crowd; teaching obedience makes a disciple.” —Jossy Chacko
- Commission (v. 43)
Quote: “Far too long, we’ve made it acceptable to sit week after week and do nothing and still call yourself a Christian.” —Ed Stetzer
Discover your place in ministry.
Develop a passion for the lost.
