The Way of Blessedness Study on the Beatitudes; 9 weeks

This study invites participants to discover Jesus’ vision of the kingdom of God on earth and to develop and live a personal “rule of life” that helps you reside in that kingdom. Each week you will explore one of the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5). The Way of Blessedness guides participants along a path that offers clarity to your way of life and the very life of God's kingdom.

When They Meet
