In the 1976 Summer Olympics, Shun Fujimoto competed in the team gymnastics competition for Japan. In a quest for the gold metal, Fujimoto suffered a broken right knee in the floor exercise. But this injury did not stop him, for during the next week he competed in his strongest event, the rings. His routine was excellent, but he astounded everyone by squarely dismounting with a triple somersault twist on a broken right knee. When asked concerning his feat, he said, “Yes, the pain shot through me like a knife. It brought tears to my eyes. But now I have the gold metal and the pain is gone.”

Blessed are the Merciful Sermon — Sermon outline by Tom Moore on Jesus’ teaching in the Beatitudes, Sermon on the Mount.

INTRODUCTION:

1. We often stress the fact that when we give, we give to Jesus. This is good and right, Matt. 25:34-40.

4. This hour I’d like to walk your mind through those things that you might not be thinking about when you put your money in the plate.
