Prayer for Purposeful Pursuit Towards Heavenly Living:
Jesus, I recognize that I don't have it all together. But this vision of a life caught up with heavenly living seems right, and I confess that there are times when I am quick to follow my way and I'm realizing I need your grace more today. So I submit to you as the Lord, Savior, Teacher, and King of my life. Teach me the ways of holiness, of righteousness, and of goodness. Amen.

Sermon Notes: The Beatitudes
- Jesus is our teacher. Are we listening?
- Who is really well off? Those who receive Jesus.
Dallas Willard quotes from Divine Conspiracy:
"The call for us is to reconsider how we have been approaching our life in light of the fact that we now, in the presence of Jesus, have the option of living within the surrounding movements of God's eternal purposes, of taking our life into his life."
"The [good news] of the kingdom is that noe one is beyond [being blessed], because the rule of God from the heavens is available to all. Everyone can reach ig, and it can reach everyone. We respond appropriately to the beatitudes of Jesus by living as if this were so, as it concerns others and as it concerns ourselves."
Question to consider: How does God's definition of being blessed confront your definition?
