Against All Odds
If you're going to live out the beatitudes in this world, then you will endure some sort of persecution or suffering on behalf of Jesus. The true nature of this world, being evil, opposes the goodness & justice of God's ways - a paradox that may not make sense, but it's true. We should not only expect resistance, but we should be thankful for it - because it proves we're on the right track. The church following Christ against all odds will be the church that sees the kingdom reign of God today! So, will you live, work, think, give, consume differently? BE different. Key passage: Matthew 5:10-12

Blessed are the peacemakers...
In a world that so desperately needs to SEE the tangible expressions of the kingdom of God coming to reign...Jesus steps to the "podium" and begins to detail what life in the "here and now" should look like. We've spent our summer weekends digging into the practical characteristics of this new life...and this weekend we deal with a deeply personal, proactive, and sometimes controversial role we are called to play...that of actively "making peace." When we look at Jesus' life, we recognize that He did not just stand by while the world spiraled out of control...He stepped in. He stood between opposing parties and stretched out His arms in reconciliation. He calls us to do the same! Key Passage: Matthew 5:9

Sneak Preview...
Ina world that so desperately needs to SEE the tangible expressions of the kingdom of God coming to reign, there may be no more powerful expression of the profound impact of God's grace in our lives, than the ability to offer, to give, and to receive forgiveness. Jesus reprimanded the "religious" of His own day, and told them that the "kingdom" would be given to those who would produce its "fruit". Forgiveness flourishes in the kingdom of God! There is not a person in this world that has not been sinned against, and the question of the child of God is very basic: can you offer the same forgiveness to others that God has offered to you? Key Passage: Matthew 5:7

Blessed are the meek...
The big idea is this: that the meek can do anything in Christ. To be meek is a choice - the choice to be mild, humble and gentle. When we are meek, that is, submissive to God, we can be used powerfully for Him (see: 1 Corinthians 1:26-32, and Psalm 37:1-11). Key Passage: Matthew 5:5
