July 29, 2007--Blessed are the poor in spirit, part 2

This sermon addresses two issues related to being poor in spirit--
#1. The difficulty of overcoming pride in our personal lives &
#2. Corporate/Congregational pride.

The Scripture reading is from Revelation 3:14-22, the letter to the church in Laodicea, a church that had settled for being lukewarm, middle-of-the-road, comme ci-comme ca, etc. Members of the church did not realize that they had pushed Jesus out...he is now standing outside knocking on the door, seeking a more intimate relationship with them.
