The Sermon on the Mount (The Beatitudes,...

About this episode

We have had a couple of requests for The Beatitudes which are at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. This is one of Jesus' most famous sermons and I'm thrilled to share this episode. There is a lot to unpack. It includes the Lord's Prayer (I get emotional reading that!) and teachings on loving our enemies and not worrying about tomorrow.

I think it's important to mention that some of the teachings are metaphorical. Jesus does not want you to gauge out your eye. He is emphasizing the importance of eternal salvation over anything else--over any earthly sins or desires we may have.

Again, I'm so blessed and excited to share this episode. We were in need of some red lettered words from Jesus. Thank you, God. Amen.


We are reading Matthew 5 through 7 in the NIV. (I use some NKJV wording for The Lord's Prayer because it is how I learned it.)

Psalm 103 is about how to handle life in general. It, in a sense, gives you the key approach to handle all of life’s circumstances, all of life’s situations, no matter what they are. And at first, this key feels anticlimactic.  What does it say the whole problem of our hearts is? ... Show More
