Oct 4 | I'm Just a Poor Boy - David Swallow
Date: October 3, 2026
Theme: I’m Just a Poor Boy
Guest Speaker: David Swalley, Church for the City, Billings
Empty Hands, Full Inheritance
What if the thing keeping you from receiving God’s goodness is how tightly you’re holding on to your own?
Through Jesus’ declaration, “Blessed are the poor in spirit,” and the story of the prodigal son, guest speaker David Swalley explores our continual need for God. One brother squandered his inheritance; the other stayed home but missed the joy of what was already his. Both reveal how pride, shame, judgment, and scarcity can keep us from embracing the Father’s heart.
This message invites us to release our self-reliance, live with gratitude, and stand secure in our identity as God’s forgiven sons and daughters. As we receive His grace, we become free to share it with the people around us.
Come with empty hands. Receive the Father’s abundance. Make room for others at the celebration.
