KINGDOM ATTITUDES: THE PATTERN WE MUST FOLLOW: PART 1

This morning we are going to begin a study through one of Jesus’ most famous sermons called the Sermon on the Mount. The sermon is really probably a collection of longer teachings that Jesus gave over time and we have two similar versions of the sermon recorded in Matthew and Luke. There are some subtle differences and scholars like to call Matthew’s version The Sermon on the Mount and Luke’s version The Sermon on the Plain, based off of where Jesus was when He delivered each of the sermons.

We are going to be looking at Matthew’s version over the next several months, and we are going to see that The Sermon on the Mount begins with blessings, or Beatitudes, to the follower of Christ who possesses these traits. These Beatitudes we are going to call Kingdom Attitudes and we are going to take a look at them over the next couple of weeks.

Look with me this morning in Matthew 5.
