A children’s sermon on Matthew 5:1-12, the Beatitudes, is challenging because Jesus makes so many different points — nine of them! I think one good way around the problem is to take just two of the beatitudes and talk about them in ways that they relate to a child’s world. I’d love to hear your […]
