SM-I Syllabus 

Over the course of this term, you will be considering the teachings of Jesus that we call The Sermon on the Mount. The primary focus in the first term will be what is commonly called The Beatitudes. Your lessons for this class may be slightly different than in other classes, especially in considering The Beatitudes. Part of the purpose is to make this study personal, through practical application, not merely an academic exercise. You will be asked several questions related to how you can better incorporate the qualities conveyed by Christ into your personal life. The lessons are,  

Lesson 1 – Blessed are the poor in spirit                             Sept. 8

Lesson 2 – Blessed are the mournful                                    Sept. 15

Lesson 3 – Blessed are the meek                                           Sept. 22

Lesson 4 -  Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst    Sept 29

Lesson 5 -  Blessed are the Merciful                                       Oct. 6

Lesson 6 -  Blessed are the Pure in Heart                             Oct. 13

Lesson 7 -  Blessed are the Peacemakers                            Oct. 20

Lesson 8 -  Blessed are the persecuted                                Oct. 27
