What’s a Blessed Attitude?
Pastor Terry Wilcox

Genesis 12:1-3

God gave Abraham incredible  followed by an incredible .

The promise is two-fold:

1. would bless Abraham.
2. Abraham being a blessing to .
   0.20% of the world’s population – 22.4% Nobel laureates
   Luke 6:12-13

   Then Jesus begins “the sermon on the mount” which connects blessings with attitudes.

JESUS-LIKE ATTITUDES TOWARD OTHERS

1. Realize not everyone will  this truth. Luke 6:27
   Answers why some are  and others are not.
2. others the way you want to be . Luke 6:27-31
   We can embrace the  of the world and settle for the  of the world, or we can embrace the  of Christ and enjoy his .

   When we decide to  like them, we  like them.

3. for the right . Luke 6:32-36

   “Giving with a glad and generous heart has a way of rooting out the tough old miser within us. Even the poor need to know that they can give. Just the very act of letting go of money, or some other treasure, does something within us. It destroys the demon of greed.”  – Richard J Foster, Money, Sex and Power
