The Sermon on the Mount

In starting this study, the first thing to do is to read "The Sermon on the Mount", Matthew 5-7. In this sermon are the beatitudes as well as what Jesus tells us belonging to the Kingdom would mean in our daily lives, the changes that will come and the price we will have to pay in making those changes.

There is so much to learn in these 3 short chapters. I can see how it will take 9 weeks (the time line for this study) to work through it all.

New Year Resolution

I figured this would be the appropriate place to post my new year resolution being that it is to "finally start and work through our (Jen and I) Bible study together". This resolution, if you will, is the physical act of what I truly hope for and desire as my new year resolution, and that is to draw closer to God. The study is from a book, Lord, Only You Can Change Me, that will take us through growing in our character through studying the scriptures on the Beatitudes.

I am looking forward to reading and studying each day. I will say, as far as posting and writing about what I learn is actually going to be more difficult for me then studying the text and scripture. I am not the best writer and it makes things even harder for me when I have to write about personal feelings and experiences.

Anyways...here's to a new start! Are you ready too, Jen?
