Today, we kick off a sermon series looking at the Beatitudes. Our short text (Mt. 5:1-2) shows us just how significant and important what Jesus is about to say really is. We dive deeply into two verses that most people usually just rush right by to get to the #BLESSED!!

When we finally decide to open our mouths and talk, it is critical that we hear (and adhere to) the prayer of the psalmist in the final verses of Ps. 19. When we are aiming for our words and thoughts to be pleasing to God, what comes out points to HIM and not at us!

God's instructions/decrees/commands/laws are not shackles that bind us from the fun things in life. They are things that free us to live the most joyous, fulfilled life that God knows we need.

A lot of people don't like public speaking. To speak about God publicly is even harder! But what happens when we realize we're not the only ones speaking ("Speeching")? Does it make it any easier? This week, we look at how Psalms. 19:1-6 invites us to join with the speech that creation is already making!
