The longest recorded and most familiar sermon of Jesus is referred to as “The Sermon on the Mount.” All of Matthew 5-7 is devoted to this teaching and the purpose of it is to explain to us what it looks like to live as a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, motivated by the heart rather than by the law. The first part of the sermon is called “The Beatitudes” (which means “Blessings”). There are eight Beatitudes, and they are all intended to be read and lived as a package, not as multiple choice. Join us today as Pastor Gary begins a series through The Sermon on the Mount explaining the 8 Beatitudes.
