What does it mean to be 'poor in spirit'? | #BLESSED

July 07, 2024

Pastor Katie Foster

In this series we explore the beatitudes - eight unique attitudes that followers of Jesus are asked to live by in order to be blessed. But many of them seem counterintuitive to what the world says or what we've been taught growing up. Can we really be blessed by going against social norms to follow Jesus? In part one of #BLESSED, Pastor Katie introduces us to the Sermon on the Mount, and teaches us the meaning of beatitude number one - "blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God".
