Join us for this sermon from RPM as Pastor Jeremiah Dennis explores the life-changing message of “Blessed are the Poor in Spirit” from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-3).

Discover what it truly means to be “poor in spirit,” why this quality is essential for entering God’s kingdom, and how living with spiritual humility transforms your faith journey.

Pastor Jeremiah walks us through historical examples, foundational truths, and practical applications—reminding us that true blessing comes not from self-reliance, but from total dependence on God’s grace.
