This week we begin exploring Jesus' longest and most famous speech. Less a sermon, and more a political rally, Jesus gives his vision of how to make Israel great again. As per usual, Jesus says things that make some people angry, and has a vision of government that is entirely opposite to how most think successful governments are run. It turns out, most of us are virtue signalling.

We will see how the so-called Beatitudes are not particular ways to get #blessed by God, but are actually scathing attacks on how people in Jesus' culture believed we ought to be good and successful people. There is much to learn from this speech Jesus gives, and we are excited to journey through it!
