April 2024 - Kingdom Manifesto (Matthew 5:3-5)

"...we might say that why you do what you do, is more important than what you do. Jesus 'kingdom values' (or, 'beatitudes') turned the cultural values of his day (and ours) on their head. Jesus calls us to radically reorient our lives." We continue our three-year trek through the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) in a series we're calling "Kingdom Manifesto." This month, we looked at the beginning of the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-5), and framed out what these verses mean and why they matter today.
