Podcasts about poor in spirit

The sermon on the mount is probably one of the best known and most recognisable teachings of Jesus. It has captured the hearts and imagination of believers over many centuries. It has inspired writings and has shaped western culture. Its influence and significance can not be over stated.As “door keeper” to this great body of teaching we find, what is commonly know as “The Beatitudes”. Sinclair Furgeson says that “The sermon on the mount does not begin with what we are to do as Christians. In a sense it doesn't even begin with telling us what we are to be as Christians. It begins by telling us the blessedness of what we are as Christians.” In the Christian life being is the foundation for doing. Not the other way around. The beatitudes therefore sets the tone, orientates the heart and primes the mind for the profound truths to follow. The Beatitudes have the following unique features:• They reflect the upside down nature of the values of the kingdom of Heaven• The are completely counter cultural. The beatitudes commend values and conditions that the world despises. Even during the time of Jesus.• They assume hostility and persecution. Because of its contrary values they bring us into a world that is hostile. • They describe the blessed, happy, favoured and fortunate condition that all who follow Jesus find themselves in.• They therefore do not refer to 8 different kinds of people but rather reflect on the state of all believers.

 Blessed Are the Poor In SpiritAs we follow Jesus, we see the world in a different light.

In this sermon, Pastor Chad explores the concept of true happiness as taught by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Highlighting the Beatitudes from Matthew 5, the message challenges the world's view of happiness, which often depends on external circumstances, and presents a deeper joy rooted in spiritual humility. True happiness, as Jesus teaches, comes from acknowledging our need for God and relying on His grace, rather than on self-sufficiency or material success.This message encourages us to rethink what it means to be happy, inviting us to surrender pride and trust in God's transformative love. By embracing humility and dependence on God, we can experience the fulfillment and peace that Jesus offers, regardless of life's challenges.

Jesus begins the 'Sermon on the Mount' by saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." To encourage the listener in the truth of God's rich grace, this episode examines this interesting statement and answers these questions: 1) What does it mean to be 'poor in spirit'? 2) How and why is a person 'blessed' who is poor in spirit? 3) How does a person become poor in spirit?

Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount by telling his disciples that those who are poor in spirit are blessed. What does it mean to be poor in spirit? What even does it mean to be blessed? Jesus then goes on to tell them that for those folks, "theirs is the kingdom of Heaven." Okay, but what does that mean. Keith Pond explains what the Beatitudes are and how this opening Beatitude is significant for believers today.

Matthew 5:1-10

Today we begin a new season of devotions based on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Matthew 5:1−3 tells us that “when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them. The first thing He said was:Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.What a strange way to start a message. Blessed are the poor in spirit. How can poverty be a good condition for anybody? It doesn't feel like something to aspire to. But Jesus is at the beginning of something important. This sermon, found in Matthew chapters 5, 6 and 7 is about to shock some, pack many surprise punches, and introduce his hearers to a very new kind of world. He is going to shatter the ideas people have about faith and religion and show them what God is really like. And he kicks off with this: to have any hope of entering into God's Kingdom − the Kingdom of Heaven, you have to be poor in spirit. You have to know you need God. This is not a new idea. Back to the Old Testament we heard the call to: Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. (1 Chronicles 16:8-11, italics mine)This is Asaph, the chief of musicians leading the singing of praise to God, after King David had defeated the Philistines, and the ark of the Covenant was returned to Jerusalem amid great celebration. Asaph exhorted everyone present to seek God's face. Always. What might it mean to seek God's face? At another moment in David's life, he prayed, “My heart says of you, ‘Seek his face!' Your face, LORD, I will seek” (Psalms 27:8). David recognised the yearning in his own heart for the presence and wisdom of God. Perhaps the first step in seeking God's face is to recognise how spiritually poor we are without Him. To listen our own heart's cry for the living God.In Psalm 63, David describes his search for God like a man desperate for water in a hot, dry desert:You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. (Psalms 63:1)Then, following this description, he moves to worship. He sings from the depths of his heart, and he prays every time he wakes in the night. What better picture can there be of a person who is poor in spirit? As we have said, those who are poor in spirit are those who know their need of God. They are desperate enough to seek his face. In every part of their lives, they know they are dependent on God's love, His mercy, His strength and His guidance. The poor in spirit are not ashamed to recognise their weaknesses and look to God for help. And Jesus describes such a person as blessed because they will know and experience God's Kingdom.

MADE TO BE In Matthew chapter 5,  Jesus, drawing a large crowd, ascended a mountainside and delivered what is widely regarded as the greatest sermon of all time. He began with eight blessings, known as the Beatitudes. In our series, we'll explore these ‘blessed attitudes,' discover their meaning, and learn how they form the foundation of a harmonious life with God's design.

Scripture Reading from Matthew 5: 1-12Sermon by Charles Anderson

Matthew 5:1-10

Sermon on the Mount: Kingdom Culture Poor In Spirit Matthew 5:3  Christ Church Kingwood February 16, 2025 Preacher: Patrick Wimberly

This conversation is based on the sermon titled, "The Blessed," from Matt. 5:1-12.

Matthew 5:17-2617 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teachers others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 21“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgement.' 22But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgement; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!' Will be liable to the hell of fire. 23So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. 26Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. Sermon Questions:1. What are some areas in your life where you've established 'little laws' to help you know you're 'doing good?'2. How does God's requirement of holiness - perfect obedience to a perfect law - strike your heart?3. What are your tactics to 'deal' with your anger?4. Where is Jesus' righteousness striking tension with sin in your heart? Bring it to Jesus - repent, believe!5. Who has 'something against you?' Go, be reconciled to them.
