The Beatitudes of Jesus Christ - Weapons of a Peaceful Warrior
Course | Registration opens 1/20/2026 8:00 AM EDT
The Beatitudes were given to the world by Jesus near the beginning of his three year public ministry as the opening lines of his famous Sermon on the Mount, spoken on the beautiful, verdant hills that rise up from the Sea of Galilee. Often misunderstood, these eight Christ-like values lay out the path that, paradoxically, leads to authentic freedom & human fulfillment. Join Mr. Driscoll for an animated walkthrough of the meaning and theo-logical ordering of the eight Beatitudes and gain a profound appreciation of how living them has the power to transform your life, community, and the world.
- Bring a pencil and paper to take notes, if desired.
