As we begin the new year, we’re tuning our hearts to the voice of Jesus by exploring the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. These opening words of the Sermon on the Mount reveal surprising blessing and reshape how we see the world. Each week, we’ll reflect on a beatitude paired with a moment in Jesus’ life that embodies its truth. Our hope is to memorize, meditate, and be transformed by the words and ways of Jesus together.
Know: In a world with many viewpoints, see people and circumstances through the eyes of Jesus.
Do: Live like Jesus’ beatitudes are true, as you reflect on your own circumstances and consider the good works he’s called you to do.
