It's the final conversation around Easter before we hand over to our Special guest next week. To say we are super excited is an understatement.

In this episode, Jonny and Sarah find themselves back in the garden. Not their own garden sipping mocktails and podcast pizzas, but the Garden of Gethsemane.

The countdown to Easter continues with the focus in this episode on 'Failed Friends'

Take a look at Matthew 26

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus - 14 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests 15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over. 50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”

We focus in on the failed friend of Judas or we focus on the faithfulness of Jesus…but so much detail of different responses as the story heads towards the cross.

The Beatitudes chat continues...

Part 3 focuses on Matthew 5:4 - God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Question - As Pentecostals we are not always great at the idea of lament and mourning, we like victory. How can we embrace this beatitude?

One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, 2 and he began to teach them.

3 “God blesses those who are poor and realise their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.4 God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.5 God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.6 God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for theywill be satisfied.7 God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.8 God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.9 God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.10 God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

It's week 2 looking at The Beatitudes.

Jonny and Sarah focus down on the first Beatitude in Matthew 5:3 - God blesses those who are poor and realise their need for Him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

Great to hear some community stories in there too.

One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, 2 and he began to teach them.

The Beatitudes...

What is the Sermon on the Mount and why does it matter?

What are the beatitudes? Why is it good to get your head around Matthew 5-7 in the bible?

In this episode, Jonny & Sarah take a look at the Beatitudes generally, and then we will take a deeper dive into a few of the Beatitudes on the next 2 episodes.

They explore and unpack the word and idea of 'Blessed' - a state of being.

One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on themountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, 2 and he began to teach them.

3 “God blesses those who are poor and realise their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
