sermon for paupers

Here's a bit of "foretaste" of what we will be studying during this Saturday's Bible Study at 5pm:

We get previews for movies all the time; why not for the wondrous Word of God?

A truth to remember: God will satisfy your need in proportion to your hunger.

Is your need great? He will satisfy it.

Are you hungry for the Word? He will fill you.

Keeping that in mind, our text will be from Matthew 5:1-12, the beginning passages of what is more commonly known as "Sermon on the Mount" or the "Beatitudes"(meaning, supreme happiness).

As you read the passage, consider these two questions:

Q1: To whom is the Sermon on the Mount addressed?
Q2: Is it possible to carry out the Beatitudes?
