The Way of Blessedness is a 9-week study using The Beatitudes from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. The journey invites participants to discover Jesus' vision of the kingdom of God on earth, and to develop a personal "rule of life" that helps us reside in that kingdom. It is recommended that participants complete the original 28-week Companions in Christ course before participating in The Way of Blessedness.

The Way of Blessedness is an invitation for small-group members to discover and live in the kingdom of God. Each week participants explore one of the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount. This 9-week journey into Matthew 5 guides us into Jesus' most precious secrets of a truly joyful and blessed life, a life given in love to God's sovereign reign. The Way of Blessedness also guides participants along a path that helps them to develop a personal rule for "kingdom life."

The Leader's Guide provides leaders with a complete outline and content for each of the weekly meetings. It also includes a Needs-at-a-Glance introductory page to make preparing for each meeting simple and quick. Each guide in the Companions series assumes that leaders are new to the formational group process and includes the full introductory materials, guidance for leading formational groups, and a description of the unique leadership skills needed.
