Section 5: Kingdom Character
Week 21: The Beatitudes
Scripture Reference: Matthew 5:1–12
Let’s Discuss:
When Jesus began the Sermon on the Mount, he opened with a series of blessings that describe the character of those who belong to his kingdom. These blessings often run opposite to the values of the world, yet they point to the kind of life that God approves and rewards. To be “poor in spirit” is to recognize your deep need for God rather than trusting in your own goodness or abilities. This humility opens the door to the kingdom. Mourning here is not only about grief over loss, but also about sorrow for sin—your own and the brokenness of the world. Those who mourn will find comfort in God’s forgiveness and in his promise to make all things new. The meek are not weak. They have strength under control, choosing gentleness over aggression. God promises them an inheritance that cannot be taken away. Hungering and thirsting for righteousness means longing for a right relationship with God and for justice in the world. God satisfies this hunger with his truth and presence. The merciful extend forgiveness and compassion because they have received the same from God. The pure in heart live with integrity and focus on pleasing God rather than seeking approval from others. The peacemakers actively work to reconcile people to each other and to God. Those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake are promised the kingdom because they remain faithful even when it costs them. These blessings invite you to live differently in daily life. Humility can change the way you handle conflict at work. Mercy can transform your relationships at home. Hungering for righteousness can shape your priorities when you decide how to spend your time. Each beatitude is not just a promise for the future but a call to live in a way that reflects God’s heart now.
Matthew 5:1-12, famously known as the Beatitudes, opens Jesus' Sermon on the Mount with a countercultural message. These verses challenge conventional views of success and power, outlining how true joy, or "blessedness," is found in humility, spiritual hunger, mercy, purity, peacemaking, and endurance through hardship.
A. The True Disciple (Part I): Who He is and His Reward (the Beatitudes), 5:1-12
(5:1-12) Introduction: seldom in history have so few words been spoken with so much meaning. The Beatitudes of our Lord are powerful, holding before the world a descriptive picture of the true disciple of God. The Beatitudes cover the glorious hope and reward the believer can expect, now as well as in eternity.
1. Jesus saw multitudes (v.1-2).
2. The poor in spirit: shall be given the Kingdom of Heaven (v.3).
3. Those who mourn: shall be comforted (v.4).
4. The meek: shall inherit the earth (v.5).
5. Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness: shall be filled (v.6).
6. The merciful: shall obtain mercy (v.7).
7. The pure in heart: shall see God (v.8).
8. The peacemakers: shall be called the children of God (v.9).
9. The persecuted: shall be given the Kingdom of Heaven (v.10-12).

1. (5:1-2) Compassion: Jesus saw the multitudes. It is to be noted that the Sermon on the Mount was given to the disciples not to the multitudes. "Seeing the multitudes," Jesus was moved with compassion over their desperate plight and need. He knew that He could not reach them by Himself, so He was driven to get alone with His disciples. He had to begin preparing them for their ministry to the multitudes.
(How long was He with His disciples on the mountain? A day? A week? Several weeks? It simply says that "when He had come down from the mountain, multitudes followed Him" (Matthew 8:1).

Thought 1. There are two basic ingredients for reaching the multitudes.
1) Compassion: seeing the multitudes; keeping one's eyes open so people and their needs can be seen.

Week 20: Making Wise Choices
Scripture Reference: Proverbs 16:1–9; James 1:5–8
Let’s Discuss:
Life is full of decisions, both large and small, and every choice shapes the direction you take. Proverbs 16 reminds you that while you can make your plans, it is the Lord who establishes your steps. This means you have a responsibility to think carefully, seek good counsel, and act wisely, but you also need to submit your decisions to God’s will. James 1:5 offers a promise for anyone who feels uncertain. If you lack wisdom, ask God, and he will give it generously without finding fault. The key is to ask in faith, believing that God will guide you. Doubt that keeps you from trusting him will leave you unsettled, like a wave tossed by the wind. In practical terms, making wise choices begins with prayer. Bring the decision before God and ask for his guidance. Then hold it up to the light of Scripture. If it contradicts God’s Word, the answer is already clear. If it aligns with his truth, consider whether it will draw you closer to him or distract you from him. Wise choices also require patience. Not every answer comes quickly. Sometimes the waiting itself is part of God’s direction, teaching you to trust him rather than rushing into action. Seeking the counsel of mature believers can bring clarity, as they may see pitfalls or possibilities you have missed. In daily life, this applies to everything from relationships to finances to career decisions. Choosing wisely might mean turning down an opportunity that looks good on paper but would pull you away from your faith. It could mean speaking the truth in a conversation when it would be easier to remain silent. It could also mean making small daily decisions—like how you spend your time—that slowly shape your character.
Proverbs 16:1-9 teaches the balance between human responsibility and God’s absolute sovereignty. While we are responsible for making thoughtful plans and working hard, God alone knows our true motives and holds the ultimate authority to direct our steps.
This recognition of God's sovereignty is an invitation to align our plans with God's divine will. It's about seeking God's guidance in our decision-making process, about striving to see the world through God's eyes, and about making choices that reflect God's love and justice. In doing so, we not only find direction for our own lives, but also become instruments of God's grace in the world.
