Matthew 5:1-12
“For All the Saints”
(Holy Communion)

“Jesus gathered his disciples on a mountaintop and taught them the nature of life in the Kingdom of God. The Sermon on the Mount is one of the five collections of Jesus’ teachings. The sermon opens with the Beatitudes. Christ wants his followers to be happy. The word ‘blessed’ means ‘happy.’ In the Beatitudes we learn what true happiness is.

“Humble Servants”
Rev. David A. Seyller

“Beware of some religious leaders! Jesus warns people against the scribes and Pharisees. Obey what they teach but don’t follow their practice. The true test of a Christian is service. Greatness is in proportion to humble service rendered.

“When Storms of Life are Raging”

“After feeding 5,000 people, Jesus went into the hills to pray. Before leaving he ordered his disciples to get in a boat and cross over to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.”
