🚗 Carpooling with Jesus is here! 🎉 Imagine if Jesus was in the car with you on the way to school—what would He say to help you start your day? In today’s episode we dive into the Beatitudes—the important attitudes Jesus teaches us to live a life that makes God happy and blesses those around us.
We’re starting with Matthew 5:3:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.”
But what does “poor in spirit” mean? Pastor Justin explains that being “poor in spirit” isn’t about being sad or having little—it’s about knowing that we need God. We don’t have to be perfect or do life on our own. God is always with us, and He wants to help!
💡 Key Takeaways for Kids and Parents:
- Being “poor in spirit” means admitting you need God’s help.
- A simple prayer like, “God, I need You. Please help me today,” is a great way to start!
- God promises something amazing—His kingdom and a place in His family, forever.
