Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station.

On today's edition, a pathway to victory.

If I were going to summarize the Beatitudes we're going to look at,

which is in fact a summary of the entire summit on the Mount, it's this.

Those who model their attitudes, actions, and affections after Jesus Christ

will experience a genuine joy in this life and unending happiness in the next life.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

Trials and hardships can take the fun out of life.

When bad things happen, our emotions often take a nose dive.

Well, today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress shares how our worst moments can become opportunities for joy.

Well, today we're going to listen to what Jesus said about your happiness in his famous sermon on the Mount.

But first, I want to remind you that on Monday I mentioned for the very first time my brand new book about Jesus' sermon on the Mount.
