The Poor In Spirit

The Sermon on the Mount, Part 1: The Poor in Spirit
In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett begins a new series on the Sermon on the Mount, considering Jesus’ powerful message from Matthew 5–7. This first lesson focuses on the phrase, “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

What does it mean to be “poor in spirit”? It’s not necessarily about financial status but recognizing our deep need for God. Pastor Winslett explains how true spiritual poverty is marked by humility, a broken heart over sin, and full dependence on Christ for salvation. This isn’t a condition to fear—it’s a blessing! Jesus promises that those who know their need for Him find joy, peace, and a place in His kingdom.

Tune in to discover the richness of this truth and how it applies to your life today.

We all have sadness in this life – it’s common to all mankind. But through the gospel, our troubled souls are comforted. Furthermore, there is coming a day in which God Himself shall wipe away all our tears, removing from our existence any source of pain or suffering in Heaven!

Mixtures of Joy & Sorrow November 22, 2024

Providence of God November 12, 2024
