This summer, we are excited to learn about how to be more like Jesus through the scriptures in Matthew 5.  These verses in the Bible are Jesus’ longest and most famous sermon, commonly known as The Sermon on the Mount or "The Beatitudes".

PRAYER + BIBLE + JOURNAL = PBJ
Over the next 9 weeks, we will be studying The Beatitudes as a church. We have a Beatitudes journal available which is designed to help you dig into these Kingdom values and truly begin to embody them day to day.  We invite you to PRAY (P), read the BIBLE (B) and JOURNAL (J) to become more like Jesus and understand the world we live in with a Kingdom perspective.
Grab or download the journal by clicking the button below, then follow the journal instructions by reading the Bible, praying and writing down thoughts and observations.
