Pastor Greg explores Jesus’ opening words in the Beatitudes from Matthew 5:1–12 and reveals how true happiness begins with surrender, not self-promotion. This message shows how being poor in spirit, mourning over sin, walking in meekness, and hungering for righteousness reshape our hearts before God. Drawing from passages throughout Scripture, we see that life apart from God is empty, but humility opens the door to the kingdom. Jesus’ authority and purpose remind us that His teaching calls for inner transformation, not outward performance. If you’re searching for lasting joy, this message invites you to discover it through a life emptied of self and filled with God.
