The Heart That Depends on God

This Wednesday evening, Pastor Robert Baltodano continues our journey through the Sermon on the Mount as we begin exploring one of the most well-known and life-changing sections of Scripture: The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3–10).Last week, he laid the foundation by examining the historical setting of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount—looking at the crowd, the significance of the mountain, and why the King sat down to teach His disciples. With the stage now set, we're ready to begin unpacking the truths of the Beatitudes. Over the next two weeks, we'll be looking at the Beatitudes in two parts as Jesus reveals the character of those who belong to His Kingdom.This week we'll begin with: Part 1 - The Heart That Depends on God (Matthew 5:3-6)These opening Beatitudes remind us that the Christian life doesn't begin with what we do for God, but with recognizing our complete dependence upon Him.
