In this sermon on Matthew 5:1–3, Stephen Davey explains that true, lasting happiness is not found in external circumstances but in an internal posture of dependence on God. While the world defines happiness by what happens and centers it on self, Jesus declares that the truly “blessed” are the poor in spirit—those who recognize their spiritual bankruptcy and complete need for God. Davey emphasizes that genuine joy begins when a person abandons self-sufficiency and relies entirely on God’s grace. This humility leads to present and future blessings, as those who come to God as spiritual beggars are given the riches of His kingdom and experience a deeper, enduring happiness rooted in Him alone.
