How Poor Are You?

Last weekend Donnie introduced our Sermon on the Mount series, and this weekend Joe introduced the first part of this series: The Beatitudes.

While Poor in Spirit isn’t about our bank account, it is about understanding what we bring to the table when it comes to our salvation. I don’t know about you, but I loved this quote from Joe: “When Self Runs Out, Grace Steps In!”

That sums it up well. Joe then gave us a bunch to think about. Today I thought I’d share the four application points so you can spend a little time thinking through your next steps:

     1-Stop pretending you’re fine.

     2-Replace self-reliance with daily dependence.

     3-Let need lead you to Jesus.

     4-Come together now: Stop doing life alone!

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3 NIV)
