Synopsis from lifeway.com

Your relationship with God both impacts and reflects all your other important relationships. So, through this fresh look at the Beatitudes, participants will gain powerful insights about the hows and whys of building God-honored relationships.

From the necessity of forgiveness ... to how to deal positively with difficult people ... this small-group discipleship study offers many practical—and personal—solutions. Plus, it even addresses critical issues like maintaining daily relationships with spouses and fostering relationships with unsaved or unchurched individuals.

Inspired by a sermon series that the author has developed and preached on the Sermon on the Mount, this resource takes the biblical principles found in Matthew 5 and makes them relevant to everyday life. In the process, it demonstrates how to build healthier, stronger relationships with others—and most importantly, with God Himself. If you have ever felt that your relationship with God was uncertain, even routine; have ever experienced a cycle of sin, sorrow, confession, and forgiveness, only to repeat the cycle over and over again; or felt out of touch with your world, your culture, even your family, then use this study to help you and others discover new insights into the life God has always intended you to have—life at full capacity.

The study features an introductory session and six one-hour group sessions. It is a DVD-based study, which means that the video sessions included in the Leader Pack are essential to the study. (7 sessions)

The Learner Guide's six-session text contains five days of individual study material on each week’s topic, plus viewer guides for the video sessions. Also includes a leader section with helps for facilitating group sessions.
