All Saints Sunday

Sermon Texts: Matthew 5:1-12

"[1]Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. [2]And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: [3]‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’ [4]‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.’ [5]‘Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.’ [6]‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.’ [7]‘Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.’ [8]‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.’ [9]‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.’ [10]‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’ [11]‘Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.’ [12]Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
