Learning to Live in an Upside-Down Kingdom

Fall 2025 Series

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ bold vision for what it means to live as whole persons. First preached to a crowd of peasants, outcasts, and everyday people, Jesus flips the world’s values around and calls us to live out of conviction, rather than convenience, coercion, guilt, or obligation. In a culture that measures success by power and status, Jesus instead uplifts humility, mercy, peacemaking, and purity of heart.

Jesus is not patching up the old system; he’s building something entirely new from the ground up. The Sermon invites us into this upside-down world where the blessed are the broken, where love is extended to enemies, and where justice is a cornerstone of community. As individuals and as a body, we are challenged to live courageous, countercultural lives shaped by the transforming power of the life and teachings of Jesus.
