  2. Consider what relevance these verses have for us: a) as a church and b) as individuals.
  3. Verses 8-20 – looking at these verses, discuss which of these prophecies has been fulfilled by Christ and which are still to come.

Peacemakers and the Persecuted – A study

Some questions from Russell, based on his sermon: Peace and Persecution

Read Matthew 5:1-12

  1. What is a Peacemaker? Why are we called to be Peacemakers?
  2. Discuss the difference between Peace the world offers and what Peace God gives?
    Choose an example and discuss why you chose it.
  3. Read Luke 6:27-28 – What ways can we as Christians show peace to those who are indifferent?
  4. What is persecution? Have you ever experienced it in any form? And how did that make you feel?
  5. Looking at v11 – What is our response to this? And why is there such great joy and blessing from such suffering?
  6. Take a moment or two and pray for our brothers & sisters caught up in persecution.

Reading: Matthew 5:6-8

  1. How do you feel when the Lord reminds you through His Word, or a sermon about a need to change your attitude?
  2. Verse 6:
    1. what does it mean to hunger and thirst?
    2. what might cause us to lose our appetite for God, and the things of God?
    3. how can that be remedied?
  3. Verse 7:
    1. what is mercy?
    2. what is the condition on us being shown mercy?
    3. what if we don’t feel merciful?
  4. Verse 8:
    1. what does a pure heart look like?
    2. how can you have a pure heart?
    3. what does it mean to see God; is that a promise for now or for the future?
  5. Homework: ask the Lord to show you any areas in your life where there needs to be an ‘attitude adjustment’, and follow that up with a commitment to let Him do that work with you and for you.
