Everything We Need | Upside Down Kingdom | Zach Chronley by Akouo Church
As we continue in Matthew throughout the fall and see the outworking of Christ's Upside-Down Kingdom, we will shift gears this week by looking at a prophecy spoken by Jeremiah hundreds of years before the birth of Christ. In Jeremiah 23:1-8, God declares disaster upon Judah's wicked kings through His prophet Jeremiah because of their stubborn rebellion in forsaking the covenant. But because of his grace, the looming disaster was not the end of the story. A King would come one day into the world who would rule in righteousness and redeem from captivity. Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Jeremiah, and Christ our King rules now without end. That reality gives us hope when hope is in short supply.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media Website | Instagram | Threads | Facebook | Vimeo------------------------------------------- Download our AppApple App Store | Google Play Store

Death Prompted Purpose | Upside Down Kingdom | Humbie Cervera by Akouo Church
Last week we saw the power of Jesus on display over nature, evil, sickness, and sin, proving that Jesus is the Son of Man prophesied in Daniel 7. He is sovereign over all things and worth following. This week we will see what it takes to follow Jesus as we continue our series The Upside-Down Kingdom with Matthew 9:9-13. This passage is personal for our author, Matthew, because it is the story of Jesus calling him to follow. Matthew is a tax collector. It is difficult to capture the fulness of what that meant in society at the time; tax collectors were despised. The people Jesus called to follow him were not the people that anyone else would have chosen, and for every one of us, that's good news. ------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media Website | Instagram | Threads | Facebook | Vimeo------------------------------------------- Download our AppApple App Store | Google Play Store

Pursued By Jesus | Upside Down Kingdom | Desiree Leiloglou by Akouo Church
When life feels out of control, and the wind and waves of sorrow and suffering are battering us, it is hard to trust that God is sovereign and watching. This week we will continue our series The Upside-Down Kingdom with Matthew 8:18-9:8. In it we will see the sovereign authority and power of Jesus over the natural world, the spiritual world and dark powers, sickness and death itself, and over the weight of sin that drags at our souls. Jesus, the Son of Man, is the One who has the power over all things. ------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media Website | Instagram | Threads | Facebook | Vimeo------------------------------------------- Download our AppApple App Store | Google Play Store

This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, Novelist and Life Coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Thursday, September 18, 2025, and this is episode #18 in Series 2025. This episode is titled, “The Upside-Down Kingdom." Before we get into our message for this week, I want to extend a warm welcome to all of our new subscribers around the world. By the grace of God, Winning with the Word now reaches 85 countries all over the globe! Praise the Lord and glory to God!I want you to know how much I appreciate your support, and I trust that Winning with the Word blesses you and encourages you during these difficult last days. Please share this podcast and blog with your family and friends. I would love to bless them and encourage them as well.Now, on to this week's message titled "The Upside-Down Kingdom."If you have been a Christ-follower for any length of time, you have likely noticed that the Kingdom of God runs by laws opposite those of the natural world. For example, in the kingdom of earth, one lives first and then dies. In the Kingdom of God, one dies first and then lives.In the kingdom of earth, one must see first before one believes, while in the Kingdom of God, one must believe first before one sees. In the kingdom of earth, one does something in order to be something. In the Kingdom of God, one is something before one does something.In a very interesting passage in Acts 17: 6, the Bible calls the disciples "the men who have turned the world upside down." We tend to think of this expression of turning the world upside down as meaning to disrupt the natural order of things. And it does mean that. But, the coming of Christ to earth also turned the world upside down in a very literal way. The old order of the way things worked passed away. Jesus ushered in a new order, a new way of seeing and doing life. And that way is the only true way.Let's take a look at this new order of things that Jesus brought by exploring each of the ways the Kingdom of God is upside down from the kingdom of earth.1) Death before Resurrection.In john 12: 24 NIV, Jesus said this: "Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." The Kingdom of God is like a seed. A seed must be planted in order to produce a crop according to the seed's kind. So it is with the one who chooses to follow Jesus Christ. That one must die to himself in order to live in Christ.This seems like a paradox, and it is. 2) Believing before Seeing.In the earthly kingdom the dictum is, "Seeing is Believing." In God's Kingdom, the dictum is "Believing is Seeing." The Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of Faith. In order to benefit from the promises of the Kingdom, one must walk in faith. Faith is the switch that turns on the power of God and enables t he Christ-Follower to experience the promises of God fulfilled in his life. Faith is the currency of the Kingdom of God whereby all transactions are conducted. Without faith, it is impossible to please God.3) Being before Doing.I find it very interesting that here in the earthly kingdom, when we meet someone new, one of the first questions we ask is, "What do you do?" Why don't we ask our new friend, "Who are you?" The reason is that the dictum for the kingdom of earth is "Doing precedes Being," while in the Kingdom of God, the dictum is "Being precedes Doing."In the Kingdom of God, we must first abide in Christ before we can bear any fruit. Jesus said this in John 15: 4 NIV: "Remain in Me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me." So, let me ask you, friend, are you engrafted in the Vine that is Jesus Christ? If not, you need to be.

Counter-cultural teachings from the Sermon on the Mount
The first time I ever received an Amber Alert on my cellphone, I was just about to see a play at the Keller Auditorium in Portland. It took me a minute to figure out what it was, and then a few more to turn it off! Amber Alerts are still used across the United States and internationally. As of December 2024, the system has helped aid in the successful recovery 0f 1,268 children. Now, you know how the Amber Alert system works… it is, quite literally a ginormous, real-life game of telephone – except the info doesn't get garbled in the transmission process. But what would happen if the person whose job it was to actually activate the Amber Alert, just entered the data in the system and then did… nothing? There is more to being a watchman, to staying alert, vigilant, and awake than just gathering info. If you don't spread the news, well, then... what's the point? We have reached our final week of our summer series, Upside Down Kingdom: The Gospel According to Mark. Over the past three months, we've discovered many ways in which Jesus' kingdom operates completely opposite of the kingdoms of this world. And as we wrap up, we find that Jesus has one more bit of counterintuitive instruction for His followers. And it applies to us today, every bit as much as it did then. Come join us this Sunday at 11 AM. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel. Or come worship with us in person! Enjoy coffee, cookies and conversation in the Lobby before the service. We would love to connect with you! We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone. If that's you, the service will be available on-demand, so you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule.

There Can Only Be One | Upside Down Kingdom | Humbie Cervera by Akouo Church
The Upside-Down Kingdom: Redefining GreatnessLuke 22:24-34The Village Chapel - 09/07/2025In a world consumed by wealth, status, and the pursuit of greatness, Jesus turns everything upside down. Luke 22 unveils a radical truth: true greatness isn't about outshining others or chasing personal glory—it's about humility, service, and deep heart transformation at work in the lives of believers, through God's grace. As the disciples bickered over which of them was greatest, Jesus modeled real greatness. Jesus walked the path to the Cross, showing how selfless service and even suffering can lead to God's glory and the good of others. Join Pastor Jim as he explores how Jesus defined greatness, how it transforms the trials we endure, and calls us to a servant-hearted life, boasting in Christ alone.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Many young people measure their Christianity by boxes checked and rules kept. In this episode, Bobby Bosler challenges that mindset with the words of Jesus: “But I say unto you.” Victory in the Christian life is not about religion or outward conformity, but about walking with the living Christ in daily dependence and surrender.Topics DiscussedWhat it really means to be “more than a conqueror” in ChristThe danger of checklist Christianity and outward conformityHow Jesus corrected shallow interpretations of God's lawThe difference between religion and relationshipListening to the Spirit's voice in daily lifeYielding to Christ in practical moments (family, ministry, soul winning)Key TakeawaysJesus didn't save you to lose—He saved you to live as a conqueror through His power.A checklist mentality leads to dead religion; true Christianity flows from relationship with Christ.Obedience is not about outward compliance but inward surrender to Jesus.The Spirit of God actively corrects, leads, and guides believers—if we are listening.Dependence on Jesus enables victory in habits, prayer, soul winning, and God's will.Additional ResourcesThee Generation Youth Summit — Learn more and register early for this year's conference.Upside Down Kingdom Series — Read Bobby's articles on the Sermon on the Mount (with audio read-along available).Fellowship Baptist Church Podcast — Weekly sermons from the pulpit of Fellowship Baptist Church in Fairmont, WV.
