Your Best Life Now?
– with Andrew Ollerton
salt of the earth – love your enemies – you win some you lose some – if the right eye sins, gouge it out - judge not lest you be judged - bird in the hand is worth two in the bush - go the extra mile – children should be seen not heard – turn the other cheek – plank in the eye
WHAT IS THE BEST OR BLESSED LIFE? HOW CAN WE LIVE IT TODAY?
“I did not like this teaching. It made me feel like I had to be perfect and no one is.”

“This teaching is absurd. To look at a woman in that way is adultery? To be angry is murder? Those are the most extreme, stupid, unhuman statements I have ever heard!”

Before DO, we must BE different
Beatitude = divine favour
HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE GOD - Matthew 5:3-6

DEVOTE YOURSELF TO SERVING OTHERS - Matthew 5:7-10
“Bob seems to have it all… few would prefer Mary’s life to his. Yet if you had to bet on it you should bet that Mary is happier than Bob”
