Join Pastor J.B. as we step into the surprising opening of the Beatitudes—“Blessed are the poor in spirit” (Matthew 5:3). In a world that celebrates self-sufficiency, Jesus points to a different path—one that begins with desperation, dependence, and an unexpected kind of blessing. Through vivid imagery from Isaiah 6 and a disarming personal story, this message invites you to reconsider the way to be "blessed". Could your need be the very place where God meets you?
