Amidst the vibrant colors intertwined with the sweet-sounding worship of Fresno Christian High School students. Speakers Illuminate this year’s theme on The Beatitudes.
Fresno Christian is one of 481 private schools in all of California that offers a Christian community and can openly speak on the gospel during school. Various well-known Fresno pastors and leaders have come to Fresno Christian to speak on the beatitude of the month.
The Beatitudes
Matthew 5:1-12 (NIV)
- August: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
- September: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
- October: “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”
- November: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
- December: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
- January: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
- February: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God”
The Beatitudes are a passage within The Bible that is used to teach us how to live and act as citizens of the kingdom of heaven. FCS tries to pique students’ curiosity by using different speakers with different stories but the same God to decipher the passage.
High school students who are part of the worship team are allowed to worship on stage during chapel, as well as control all the lights and sound behind the scenes on the technology team.
