Study Resources: Sermon on the Mount

Note: Beginning tomorrow, the Bible faculty at KCU will present a series of sermons from Matthew 5:1-12 entitled "Be."  During the duration of this series, I will offer a follow-up devotional study as a way of keeping the conversation going.  To start, I offer this resource list to guide those of you interested in studying more.
