Good morning everybody. Let's pray together. Father, great is your faithfulness

to each and every one of us.

We look back on our lives and we can see how consistently and how faithfully

you have worked in our lives.

Now we pray that you will speak to us as we open your word. And Lord, we

pray for our nation right now, which is in such need of a spiritual

awakening and as we enter into an election season, Lord, we're praying

that we'll do what we need to do as citizens and do our part to register and

vote, but also to remember to pray, to pray that your

will be done. The Bible tells us that when the righteous rule the people rejoice, that

you would place for praying godly people and places of

influence and that we would turn toward you instead of turning away from you.

So we commit this time of Bible study to you now in Jesus

name we pray. Amen. All right you can all be seated. Well we're

starting a brand new series today on the sermon on the mount and we were trying to think of some clever thing to call it and we decided to just call it the sermon on the mount because everyone knows that of course and this is maybe the greatest

sermon ever preached by Jesus himself and we're going to look at that in a few

moments but a couple of announcements I wanted to make.

We are in an election season.
