Kingdom Living – Beatitudes 1-2

How would you complete this sentence? “Everything I learned about life and happiness, I learned from…?” You’ve probably viewed any number of stories, blogs, meme’s that start that way, and end with something the author believes taught him or her a valuable lesson about life.

This week we start a new series on The Beatitudes – eight declarations that Jesus made that some have described as a blueprint for happiness. At first glance, though, you might want to disagree.
