Upside Down: The Secret to a Good Life

About this series

In a culture where we're often told that success is about getting ahead, Jesus challenges us with a radically different vision of a good life—one where the last are first, and the meek inherit the earth. Join us as we explore how living in alignment with God's upside-down kingdom is the true secret to a life of deep fulfillment, purpose, and peace. Discover how Jesus' teachings in the Sermon on the Mount invite us to embrace this surprising path to the good life He promises.

About this message

For eight weeks, we've explored Jesus' vision of the "good life" in the Beatitudes, flipping the world's expectations upside down. This week, we conclude the Beatitudes with the most unexpected blessing: "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness."

In a culture that values comfort, power, and approval, Jesus offers a countercultural truth—true blessing comes not from avoiding opposition but from standing firm in faith, even when it costs us. We'll uncover how persecution is an inevitable part of discipleship, the eternal rewards it brings, and how Jesus' ultimate victory gives us courage to endure.

Explore the paradox of finding joy in the midst of struggle and discover what it means to live the truly "blessed" life.
