Blessed Are The Poor

Matthew 5:1-3

Pew Bible Pg. 785

 

 

I.  The first step toward salvation is recognizing our spiritual poverty.

   

II.  The blessing is in receiving the kingdom of heaven.

 

III.  Jesus gives a woe to those who shut the kingdom.                                           Matt. 23:13

 

Do I see myself as spiritually bankrupt?

 

Have I studied what the kingdom of heaven is biblically?

 

Do I find myself to be a stumbling block to others who desire to enter the kingdom of heaven?
