Episode 166: No Illusions

“God blesses those who are poor . . . ” This is a bold and counter-cultural thing for Jesus to say. It was hard to understand and believe in that day and maybe nearly impossible to grasp in our consumer-driven culture where acquiring possessions, power, and influence are so coveted. Jesus says people are blessed and privileged when they come to realize their own bankruptcy—their utter helplessness—and put their whole trust in God.
Matthew 5:3

This week one of our #fhcTAKEAWAYS asked: How have your spiritual understandings made you feel spiritually superior?
