The River, the Desert, the Promised Land! (Matthew 5:1-12)
Andrew Clark, 1 March 2020
Part of the Beautiful Attitudes series, Sunday Morning service
We begin this new preaching series during Lent 2020 with a look at the teachings of Jesus in the ‘Sermon on the Mount’. Today we bridge the gap between Moses and the Exodus, the wandering in the desert, entering the promised land with Joshua, via Jesus baptism, fasting in the desert and the opening words of the sermon on the mount! Hold on to your hat!

Matthew 5:1–12 (Listen)
5:1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
