The Future of Love --- Matthew 5:1-12 Our new series follows the Sermon on the Mount, which contains some of the greatest and perspective-shifting teachings of Jesus. This week, we examine the Beatitudes. If you're not feeling convicted as an American Christian by these words, you aren't reading them right. Blessed are the poor, meek, persecuted, mourners... people who don't match any of our criteria for prosperity or fulfillment. You may feel blessed by what you have today on Earth, but how blessed are you in the Kingdom of God?
