#46 - Spiritual Poverty & the Paradox of Happiness (Sermon on the Mount, Part 1)

Does the world really know the best way to live? The Sermon on the Mount presents a counter-intuitive way of being that produces true flourishing. We begin this series by looking at Matthew 5:1-3 and how the paradox of happiness is presented as a posture of the heart, specifically, recognizing that we are spiritual beggars before God. Listen in as we explore how Jesus connects spiritual poverty to being "happy" or "blessed," and how this results in receiving the kingdom of heaven.  Like the podcast?
