In "Salt & Light," Pastor Micah Stephens draws from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew to discuss the roles of Christians in the world, using the recent California fires as a metaphor for preservation and illumination.

In "Blessed Are The Poor," Pastor Rob McCoy kicks off a series on the Beatitudes, starting with "the poor in spirit" from the book of Matthew.

Living this truth, he teaches, leads to profound blessings and an inheritance in the kingdom of heaven.Verse References: Matthew 5 verses 1-20Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.
