"Beatitudes" (Isaiah 43:1-4)
Originally Delivered: December 28, 2008
Message Length: 34min.
Abstract - This was the last Sunday message of 2008, and it looks like Pastor Don is lining things up for 2009, a year focused on personal spiritual growth at LCCC.  Today's message is based on the beatitudes, or as Pastor Don brakes it down, the "be attitudes". While it is a play on the word, Pastor Dan points out right attitudes to have as a Christian.  In this four point message  we discover what it is to have a Positive Attitude, a Mourning Attitude, a Meek Attitude, and finally, an Attitude of Hunger for Righteousness.  He ask "what do good people do when bad things happen?"
