A new series is starting on April 27! How would you describe the blessed life? How does Jesus described the best life? It might not be what you think. We often speed read through the beatitudes, but can we maybe slow down and meditate on the words of Jesus? How do the other parts of the sermon on the mount inform what each beatitude means? How might each beatitude inform our prayer life? Join us as we slow down and reflect on the greatest sermon ever told, as Jesus shows us what the blessed life looks like.
After Church Bible Study is taking a short break and will start back up on April 27 when we begin the new series. We will dive deeper into the sermon series topic and have opportunity for discussion with others in the Bible Study.
Bring your Bible!
