Our sermon series, The Upside-down Kingdom, walks through the first half of the Gospel of Mark, exploring how Jesus announces and embodies the Kingdom of God in surprising and countercultural ways. Each week, we see how God’s Kingdom turns the values of the world upside down—where the last are first, the humble are lifted up, and true power is displayed through love and sacrifice. Through stories of healings, teachings, and encounters, we discover how the Kingdom impacts every corner of our lives. We will consider what it means for our families, how it shapes the way we practice hospitality, the way we extend grace, and how faith calls us to trust God even when life feels uncertain. This series invites us not only to learn about the Kingdom but to live in it—embracing Jesus’ radical call to follow Him in a world that desperately needs His reign.
