Upside Down Kingdom  November 27, 2022 | Pastor Derek | John 18:36   Big Idea: Jesus’ kingdom upends our definitions of power and success.     About the Kingdom of God.   kingdom = the rule and reign of God over all the earth for all time   It is both ‘here’ and ‘near’ It is misunderstood.    3 Upside Down Kingdom Principles   Winning comes through Dying (Col 2:13-15; Lk 9:23-25)  Power should be used under not over. (Mt 20:25-28)  The least in this world can have the greatest satisfaction (Mt 5:3-12)   You are an Agent of Christ’s Upside-Down Kingdom.   We live in a kingdom tension.   Contented and discontented Being and becoming   Reflection:  What would it look like for you to embody the upside-down kingdom of Jesus in your real world this week?
