Message: “Blessed are the Poor in Spirit” from Brian Richardson

Our world is filled with competing voices and value systems that seek to guide our lives, and these messages often prioritize our control, comfort, safety, and convenience. But Jesus gives us a different reason for living--a new direction through life's detours and delays. Because of Him, we have the ability to know who we are (and whose we are) and that our lives have purpose and meaning.

Scripture References: Matthew 5:1-12, Revelation 3:17, Isaiah 57:18-19, Ephesians 2:4-5, Acts 17:27-28, Romans 7:16-24

From Series: "Road to Recovery"

We find ourselves in the midst of construction season, when orange cones and delays become a daily part of our lives. Without directions--or the right signs to help us through life’s detours--we can easily get lost, end up on roads that lead us away from our destination. When we are off course spiritually, Jesus provides simple, clear directions that help us navigate life’s potholes, find healing from our hurts, and the power to overcome harmful habits. Using Jesus’ teaching from his first recorded “sermon,” Road to Recovery walks us through the Beatitudes and gives us eight turn-by-turn directions to get us back on the right road for our faith journey.
