Matthew 5:1-6
2. The poor in spirit

What does it mean to be poor in spirit, and what doesn't it mean? Jesus begins His most famous sermon with the words, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

This beatitude is the key to unlocking the rest of the Sermon on the mount, and the key to the kingdom of heaven. It all begins by coming honestly before God with empty hands and saying, "I need your help."

In this message, pastor David will explain the meaning of the verse, explore how this verse applies to us and how it reveals who Jesus is using vivid illustrations.
