Upside Down Kingdom | Deconstructing Jesus | Week 04
Upside Down Kingdom
November 27, 2022 | Pastor Derek | John 18:36
Big Idea: Jesus’ kingdom upends our definitions of power and success.
About the Kingdom of God.
kingdom = the rule and reign of God over all the earth for all time
- It is both ‘here’ and ‘near’
- It is misunderstood.
3 Upside Down Kingdom Principles
- Winning comes through Dying (Col 2:13-15; Lk 9:23-25)
- Power should be used under not over. (Mt 20:25-28)
- The least in this world can have the greatest satisfaction (Mt 5:3-12)
You are an Agent of Christ’s Upside-Down Kingdom.
We live in a kingdom tension.
- Contented and discontented
- Being and becoming
Reflection:
What would it look like for you to embody the upside-down kingdom of Jesus in your real world this week?
