The Upside Down King

The Upside Down King

April 14, 2019 | Everett Meadors

Passage: Matthew 16:13-28

Jesus was not the King his people expected. In many ways, he’s not the King we expect either. But do we want the life of the Kingdom of Heaven or do we want the life of the Kingdom of Us. Can it be that the only path to life and victory is to follow this King through the paths of the dead? Join us this Sunday to hear about this Upside Down King.

Series Information

Matthew 12:22 - 20

In the next installment in our Matthew series as we see conflict heating up around Jesus.  As his ministry continues, it becomes clear that the values of the Kingdom clash with the arrogance, pride, and apathy of his day, and people start to polarize around him.  I'm sure the same will be true of us.  At every step we'll find that Jesus' grace is sufficient for the journey, as we learn the way of the Upside-Down Kingdom.
