August 3, 2025 • K.Paul Maurer • Matthew 5:1–3, Matthew 7:24–29

 In this message from our Beatitudes series, we explore Jesus’ bold opening line: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
What does it mean to be poor in spirit—and why would Jesus call it blessed? Discover why the gateway to the Kingdom of God is through spiritual dependence, not strength, and how embracing your need for God leads to true freedom.
