"Formation in Attitude" (Matthew 5:1-12)

Intro to the Sermon on the Mount and The Beatitudes
Sermon on the Mount: A Kingdom Upside Down
Sunday, June 25th
Guest Speaker: Steve PrattQuestions to consider for your reflection this week:

1. Jesus is a master teacher who chose to make his opening statement in his sermon the beatitudes, the first word to be “blessed.” What does that tell you about the character & heart of God?
2. How are we “poor in spirit” when it comes to approaching God?
3. Which beatitude do you find yourself most challenged by?  Why?
4. Meekness is humility in action to others. Where have you shown meekness in your life?  Where do you struggle with meekness?
5. What promises give you the most hope in the beatitudes?
