The new series is looking at the Sermon on the Mount. The verse we focused on in the video is Matthew 5:3 

Blessed are the Poor in Spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

In the video we talked about poor in Spirt.  The poor in spirit were the zero’s the lost, the morally or spiritually bankrupt.  In what ways is it important for us to come to God in a poor in spirit manner? 

The word Blessed in the video was described as a divine, I am with you…God is for you.  How do you see blessing in your life?  How do you see God with you in your everyday of life? 

Jesus announces to his disciples in a sea of all kinds of people that the favor of God is being poured out on all people. How could this picture of the gospel impact your friends at school?  

Describe a time when you felt poor in spirit?
