Dr. Vaughn brought Kingdom teaching to practical application by preaching through the Beatitudes in Mt 5.3-16. He summed up the passage with these points: Kingdom living is coming to the end of self-reliance through humble trust in the King which is expressed in sincere repentance that brings true comfort which leads to submissive obedience and obtaining of God?s promises which develops a spiritual appetite that will be satisfied by the word which leads to a spirit of mercy that obtains new mercy when needed which develops a single-mindedness that fosters spiritual wisdom which empowers kingdom living that brings others to Christ. (Stating the outline that way seems Pauline in its construction!)
