Celebrate Recovery: Powerless without Jesus

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of God. Matthew 5:3

I'm an addict. I'm addicted to sin. And so are you. The Bible calls this our sin nature. That there are areas of our life that we simply are ashamed of, don't like, and wish no one would ever know about us reveals this truth about ourselves. It is to this point that Jesus says we are "blessed" if we are "poor in spirit". We realize we are not God and are spiritual bankrupted before him. It is only at this starting point that we can find genuine recovery.
This is the first sermon in a series walking through the Beatitudes and the 8 principles of recovery based upon them of Celebrate Recovery. Delivered by pastor Chris Kopp, Sunday February 28th, 2016 to the Galena Bible Church.
