Poor Enough For The Kingdom

Jesus is alive! Are you? In the opening message of B[less]ed, Pastor Jeff Maness teaches on the reality and availability of the Kingdom of God to us right now. Jesus begins His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5 by addressing a crowd, many of whom had been excluded and reviled by the religious elite, and extended blessing - an invitation into His Kingdom - to those who are poor in spirit, to those who realize their need for Him. Nothing we can do could earn us favor with God, but because of Jesus and His perfect blood shed on the cross, we are called blessed.
