The "Be-Attitudes" New Sermon Series!

This Sunday, January 12th I will begin a new series on the "Be-Attitudes." This powerful section of Scripture that begins Jesus' Sermon on the Mount has been described as "The Compendium of Christ's doctrine" and "The Magna Charta of the Kingdom." Clear, simple, and life-changing, the words of Jesus have much to say to us today. Join us as we explore this rich treasure of teaching.

Bible study begins at 9:15 a.m. and Worship at 10:30 a.m. At Carrollwood Baptist Church all are welcomed!

 

Matthew 5:1-12 New International Version (NIV)

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

¹ Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, ² and he began to teach them.
