Ever wonder why God allows persecution and suffering? In our finite minds seeing the blessing in persecution seems impossible! So why is it that Jesus calls the persecuted Christian as being blessed? Well, today we are seeking to find the answer to that question. We will also talk about what a peacemaking Christian looks like, and how the Ultimate Peacemaker is the solution.

The Sermon on the Mount study is a video series about Jesus' Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapters 5-7. Each video will cover a section of verses in these chapters. The goal with each video is to bring greater understanding of the passage, key takeaways, and application in one's life. In every video we strive to be as accurate with God's Word, the Bible, as possible because as 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says "16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." Our prayer is that through this series each unbeliever will see his or her need for a savoir which can only be found in Jesus Christ (Eph. 2:8-9, Rom. 10:9), and that each believer will grow in his or her understanding of who God is and seek to live out a life that pleases the God who sent his son to die for the sins of the world (John 3:16).

I interviewed my history teacher, Jon Streeter, who is the co-host of the 15 Minute History Podcast. In this interview, we discuss the importance of analyzing history through a Biblical lens, why history matters, is the Bible verifiable, what is Jon Streeter's philosophy behind his teaching, what the overarching lesson of history is, what advice Jon Streeter would give to his younger self, and finally what his podcast is all about.
