The love that is the hallmark of Jesus’ kingdom calls us to lay down our desires to win and to find that in losing we might gain the greater reward of transforming our enemies into friends. Upside Down love wins by losing…    In the upside-down Kingdom of God, the lowly are lifted, the broken are blessed, and the hungry are filled. We don’t have to measure up to enter the kingdom of God.

In the upside-down Kingdom of God, the lowly are lifted, the broken are blessed, and the hungry are filled. We don’t have to measure up to enter the kingdom of God. We don't even have to live a certain way to earn the kingdom of God.

This series is an invitation to slow down, draw near, and rediscover what it really m...

The people who followed Jesus most closely did not believe Jesus was going to rise from the dead or that he had risen from the dead, even when they saw The Empty Tomb. That's because their experience with death was the same experience we’ve had with death. So what if the tomb was empty? That could be explained in any number of ways. But something changed on the first Easter and even the follow...

Perhaps you’ve been disenfranchised how you’ve seen the church or Christians or pastors engage with politics. As humans, we’re enamored with “The Empire.” We're attracted to power and influence.

If everyone has to look alike and think exactly alike, and if there’s no room for disagreement or nuance, we might be bowing to the altar of conformity. The next generation does not want a faith that is so narrow that they have to conform to secondary issues.
