Hopeless and Happy – Matthew 5:3
February 25, 2024
Hello Kingdom Family,
Welcome to our Jesus-centered community. We are glad you are listening to today’s message.
Our purpose statement is “We are People Helping People Experience a Jesus-centered Life.”
This eight-week series examines the most famous ever given, The Sermon on the Mount, by none other than Jesus himself. Jesus’s audience was the outcasts of his day, and they were the first to engage this incredible message and design for living. We will unpack the nine Beatitudes presented by Jesus. It’s a series you don’t want to miss. Today we unpack Matthew 5:3, and look at the first Beatitude, and what it means to be “poor in spirit.”
Questions to ponder:
1. What does it mean to be “poor in spirit?”
2. How would describe the “good life.”
3. What does it mean to be hopeless?
4. How is it possible to be hopeless and happy?

Welcome to another year of studying God’s Word with Hill-Tran Ministries. Our new message series is titled “Romans: I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel?” We are starting a thorough study of the Book of Romans. Many theologians and scholars claim that the Book of Romans is the most important in all of scripture. This week, our message is titled “Fifty Shades of Sin – We Are Without Excuse.” Our message today is focused on Romans 1:18-32. We hope you are challenged and encouraged to grow deeper in your faith because of the Book of Romans.
