Jesus

Jesus turned the world upside-down with teachings that defied expectations—blessing the poor in spirit, calling the meek winners, and offering joy through surrender. In recognizing our spiritual bankruptcy, we find true life through the grace only He can give.

Discussion Questions for Growth Groups

How does Jesus' definition of "blessed" differ from what the world typically celebrates?
Why do you think Jesus' message in Matthew 5–7 felt so backwards—both then and now?
How can we hunger and thirst for righteousness in our daily lives?
In what ways do you see the “upside-down” nature of Jesus' Kingdom reflected in your own spiritual journey?
