Sermon on the Mount Scripture : Matthew 5v9-11 Teacher : Damien Parks *Please Note* -This passage of scripture opened up a wonderful conversation within the church family around following Jesus, discipleship, our obsession with a christian persecution complex, and the challenges of being a peacemaker. The conversation that took place within the worship gathering made our teaching time go much longer that normal. We decided to edit out some of that dialogue because ain't nobody got time for that length of a church service.
