Bible Study: Let's read and study the Book of Acts

> Join us for an open Bible study and discussion on Matthew 5:1-12, where Jesus begins His famous Sermon on the Mount by redefining what it means to be “blessed.”

In this short but powerful section, we’ll explore how Jesus flips worldly values upside-down — calling the meek, the merciful, and the pure in heart truly fortunate. Instead of chasing status or success, He points us toward character, humility, and spiritual strength that can’t be taken away.

We’ll look at what each Beatitude reveals about the kind of people God calls us to be, and how living this way can transform not just our inner life but our influence in the world around us.

📖 Preparation: Take a few minutes before we meet to read Matthew 5:1-12 and think about which of the Beatitudes stands out to you most — and why.

☕ Location: We’ll meet again at Panera Bread (same spot as last time). Depending on turnout, future gatherings may move to a more relaxed home setting.

🙌 Note: This study is open to everyone — whether you’re new to Scripture or have read it many times. The goal isn’t to lecture but to learn together, discuss honestly, and discover how Jesus’ words challenge and encourage us today.

Come ready to share, listen, and grow as we explore what real success looks like in God’s kingdom.
