Sermon on the Mount Session 3
This document discusses Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and how Christians can live according to its teachings. It outlines the inward and outward attitudes described in the Beatitudes, such as being poor in spirit, mourning, and embracing mercy, purity, peace, and suffering. Christians are called to transform not just themselves but their culture by first changing their character, then their conduct, and finally influencing the world around them through living out the Sermon on the Mount.
