Kingdom Characteristics | Week 4 | Upside Down

Reflection time: are you unintentionally contributing to a negative church perception? In our fourth and final week of the Upside Down series, Pastor Ben redefines the Kingdom of Heaven, breaking conventional expectations. Exploring the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-12, Ben unveils the true essence of each characteristic in a Christ-centered life, exposing how the enemy distorts the genuine nature of living in the Kingdom of God. Ben calls us to self-reflection, warns against misinterpreting Christian values, and calls for repentance. The focus is on embracing countercultural qualities like meekness, mercy, and resilience, urging a collective mindset shift. He showcases our goal to embody the symbolic salt and light, attracting others to the transformative Kingdom of Heaven through authenticity. Bring the awesome life of Christ to people in a lost and broken world. This is the mission of Flatirons Church, led by Jim Burgen and based in Lafayette, CO, with multiple locations in Colorado and online. Give Here https://my.flatironschurch.com/give-t...
