The biblical concept of being poor in spirit is foundational to every aspect of the Christian life. Foundational to salvation is a heart-level acknowledgment of our need for a Savior. Foundational to experiencing God’s love is acknowledging our great need of love. Foundational to heavenly peace and joy is an acknowledgment that this world truly offers us neither. If we want all that God in his grace offers, we must pursue a lifestyle of being poor in spirit. May you experience more of the depth of God’s love this week as you discover God’s heart to minister to those desperate for him.

Our Scripture for today comes from James 4:6, and today's worship is Need You More by United Pursuit featuring Will Reagan.

At the beginning of November, we announced a really exciting new project we’re hoping to launch January 1st, called Primeros15. For the first time we’ll be offering our daily devotional for Spanish speaking believers in their native language. If God is stirring your heart to give First15 to another believer just like you, you can do so here.

First15 is a daily devotional written and recorded by Craig Denison. If you would like to learn more about the First15 app, books, blogs, videos and our other resources, please visit first15.org. You can always reach out to us on our contact page on the website.
