About this listen

What does it mean to be poor in spirit—and why does Jesus place this beatitude first? In this episode, Pastor John DeVries introduces the Beatitudes as a growth chart for disciples, showing how spiritual poverty is not merely an admission of sin, but the deep humility that serves as the doorway into the kingdom of heaven. True discipleship begins with the honest recognition that we bring nothing to Christ except our need for his grace.
