In this teaching of The Good Life, Pastor Aaron explores Matthew 5:1-4, focusing on the Beatitudes that proclaim, "Blessed are the poor in spirit" and "Blessed are those who mourn." At first glance, these words may seem contrary to our ideas of happiness and success. How can poverty of spirit or mourning be sources of blessing? Pastor Aaron uncovers how these teachings reveal a profound truth about life in God’s kingdom: we are fortunate when we recognize our dependence on God and find comfort in Him amid sorrow.
