The Beatitudes

If you were designing a portrait of the good life, you probably wouldn't start with meekness, poor in spirit, and the like. But Jesus did. In The Beatitudes, Matt Chandler walks through the opening words of the Sermon on the Mount across eight sessions and shows us that what looks like an upside-down way of living is actually right-side up. These aren't virtues we manufacture or a spiritual performance we maintain. They're a description of what God is doing in us — the slow, faithful work of making us into the kind of people whose lives look like the kingdom. The blessed life isn't the comfortable life. It's the life where God is closest, and where his kingdom is most at home.
