Blessed Are You

March 2, 2014

Who are the people of the beatitudes?
What qualities are they to have?
What are the blessings promised?
The beatitudes are eight fundamental emotional attributes that are a formula for personal and societal health.

Ø  The Poor in Spirit
Ø  Those Who Mourn
Ø  The Meek
Ø  Those Who Hunger & Thirst for Righteousness
Ø  The Merciful
Ø  The Pure in Heart
Ø  The Peacemakers
Ø  The Persecuted

Salt of the Earth & Light of the World
Our influence depends upon our character.
We bring blessing on ourselves.
We bring salvation to others.
We bring glory to God.
As followers of Jesus, by how we live we are commissioned to stop the spread of evil and promote the spread of truth.
Memory Verse: Week Two
Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.   Matthew 5:16
