Teacher and author Jen Wilkin takes students on a verse-by-verse study through three chapters in Matthew known as the Sermon on the Mount. 

Things I liked: 

• Reading through all three chapters at the start of every week 

• Marking up the text with keywords (I printed off my own copy of the text, but it is at the back of the workbook for reference) 

• Using the dictionary or thesaurus to write out definitions

• Looking up other passages to note what they teach about the day’s topic 

• Rewriting sections of the sermon in our own words 

• Weekly videos to summarize the teaching and delve deeper into interpretation and application 

This was easily one of the best studies I’ve done. Wilkin’s studies are challenging and she teaches readers to study the Bible on their own, saying something like “these are the kinds of questions we should be asking” she says. Highly recommend!
