We have had a couple of requests for The Beatitudes which are at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. This is one of Jesus' most famous sermons and I'm thrilled to share this episode. There is a lot to unpack. It includes the Lord's Prayer (I get emotional reading that!) and teachings on loving our enemies and not worrying about tomorrow.
I think it's important to mention that some of the teachings are metaphorical. Jesus does not want you to gauge out your eye. He is emphasizing the importance of eternal salvation over anything else--over any earthly sins or desires we may have.
Again, I'm so blessed and excited to share this episode. We were in need of some red lettered words from Jesus. Thank you, God. Amen.
We are reading Matthew 5 through 7 in the NIV. (I use some NKJV wording for The Lord's Prayer because it is how I learned it.)

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
