Poor In Spirit - Kurt Von Eschen

What does it mean to be "poor in spirit"? In the opening message of our Kingdom Culture series, we explore the first Beatitude from Matthew 5:3 and discover that God's blessing isn't reserved for the powerful, polished, or self-sufficient. Jesus declares that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who recognize their deep need for Him. In a world that rewards performance and image, Jesus invites us to stop pretending and surrender our lives completely to God. Through Scripture, personal stories, and the powerful truth of the Gospel, we'll see that God's Kingdom begins where self-reliance ends. If you've ever felt inadequate, broken, or like you don't have what it takes, this message is for you. Scripture: Matthew 5:1-12
