a different way: I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.

Journey Church Bozeman Sermons

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | September 15, 2024

Reflection Questions:

1. Read Matthew 5:1-11… How do you define the “#blessed” life? How does our culture define the “#blessed” life? How do these contrast the blessed life that Jesus describes? How have you seen the culture around you shape your thoughts of what a blessed life looks like.

2. Which of the beatitudes are the most challenging for you to believe? Which beatitudes make you question your own following of Jesus? How do you need to grow and/or change?

3. Why is realizing our spiritual poverty (neediness) a prerequisite to experiencing the blessed life? What challenges exist if we don’t?

4. What do the groups that Jesus identifies as blessed seem to have in common?

5. Which of the groups that Jesus identifies as blessed do you feel closest to? Why?

6. Which of the groups that Jesus identifies as blessed do you feel least like? Why?

7. What do the groups have in common? What are some themes or threads you see in these groups? What are examples of each beatitude in the life of Jesus?

8. How can you take these words of Jesus and put them into practice this week? (Matthew 7:23-24)
