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 

 

  1. Winning comes through Dying (Col 2:13-15; Lk 9:23-25) 
  2. Power should be used under not over. (Mt 20:25-28) 
  3. 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?
