Take it Deeper Questions
Read Matthew 5:1-15.

Have you ever felt misunderstood or judged for doing the right thing—or for your connection to Jesus? What did it feel like?
What does it mean to “rejoice and be glad” in the face of hostility without being fake or dismissive of pain?

How does our deep study of the beatitudes shift your daily perspective? What does living these out daily change in you?
