REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. What are you learning from our study of the Beatitudes this year? What insights have you found so far about living “the good life”?

2. How might “purity of heart” go beyond external appearances?

3. What does judging purity by internal motivations and transformation mean for how you view yourself and others in your faith community?

4. A lot of this sermon has to do with who does the work of creating a “pure heart”. What is God’s promise? What is our task?

5. What does it mean to “ask” for a pure heart? Have you done this before? What has that experience been like?

6. What does it mean to “accept” a pure heart? What makes this so difficult for us sometimes?

7. What does it mean to “surrender” to a pure heart? Where are you struggling with this right now?

8. How can you better “nurture” the heart God has given you?
