The Gateway to the Kingdom

Jesus didn’t come to improve you.
He came to remake you.

The Sermon on the Mount is not a motivational speech.
It’s not a challenge for the capable.
It’s a revelation for the broken.

Until we realize we can’t live up to God’s standard,
we won’t turn to the One who did.

Jesus is not just a teacher—He is a Savior.
His words expose our poverty,
and His Spirit fills the void.

Kingdom Discipleship: A Word from Pastor Kevin

Sons and daughters—
Don’t come to God with your resume.
Come with your emptiness.

The entry point into the Kingdom isn’t giftedness.
It’s poverty of spirit.

When you say, “I can’t do this,”
He says, “Now I can.”

❝

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:3 (NIV)

Today’s Prayer

Jesus,
I am poor in spirit.
I don’t have what it takes—
but You do.
Teach me to live by Your Spirit, not my strength.
Amen.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

  • Where in my life am I still trying to impress God instead of depend on Him?

  • Do I know Jesus only as a teacher—or as my personal Savior?

  • What would change if I embraced my spiritual poverty as the beginning of transformation?
