This sermon represents Week 5 of a 6-month series on the Sermon on the Mount that Darrell preached in 1995. The text discusses the third Beatitude, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Darrell explains that meekness is not very well understood and that it is a rich quality of trusting in God. The meek know that the old order is passing away and the new order of God's kingdom is coming, so they do not need to be worried about those who seem to be succeeding on the world’s terms. The meek will inherit the earth, not just in the end, but also in the present, as they are free to enjoy God's creation without the need to constantly acquire and control.
