February 13–19

Matthew 5; Luke 6

“Blessed Are Ye”

The Sermon on the Mount from Matthew and the Sermon on the Plain from Luke contain incredible and powerful teachings of Jesus Christ. While Matthew version, the Sermon on the Mount, is definitely more well known, I think the Sermon on the Plain may be even more potent and powerful. We’ll dive into the teachings of both contained in Matthew 5 and Luke 6, including discussing some hard things as part of this episode.
