Upside Down

Big Thought:  “Upside down in a messed up world”

Matthew 5  “You’ve heard it said . . . but I tell you“

1. Flip the View

2020 proved to be a challenging year with so many unexpected challenges. Covid caught us all by surprise but not God!  God saw 2020 before we did & He had a plan to see us through as well as help us accomplish His will.  It’s vital that as we go into the new year, we flip our focus from the challenges to Him.  He is the answer & will help us through.   Matthew 5:3-11, 1 Corinthians 2:14, 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 14:17

2. Flip the Approach

Seeing things how God sees them changes everything for us, including our approach. God will help us to thrive & be fruitful in a messed up world but we have to follow after Him in obedience to His leading & word.  Matthew 5 “You’ve heard it said . . . but I tell you“, Proverbs 14:12, Matthew 6:10

Next Steps

1. “What is Jesus speaking to me through this teaching today?”

2. “How can I apply this to my life?”

3. “Who can I share what I’ve learned today with?”
