Christmas Guilt
As Kingdom people, we always want to be aware of ...
As Kingdom people, we always want to be aware of the dangers of consumerism and irresponsible spending. However, if we take on too much responsibility for fixing the world we can fall into guilt and become judgmental. Jesus modeled a balance between responsibility to those who are less fortunate, and the freedom we have to celebrate and share the good things that God has given us.

This Is What We Do
Christians are called to live generously all year round - ...
Christians are called to live generously all year round - not just at Christmas time. Jesus models four distinctives that we are to imitate in our lives and in our communities. We can easily get caught in the flow of our culture so these distinctives are challenging for us, but they're crucial for expanding God's Kingdom.

What does it mean to use material resources in a godly way? All of our money and 'stuff' will pass away but the relationships we have with people have real eternal value. God wants us to use our resources to advance his Kingdom rather than our own.

Revolting Against Normal

Most of the time we try to fit Jesus into our culturally-accepted view of God, and the early Christians did the same thing. But Jesus doesn't fit into our categories. As Kingdom people, we're meant to follow Jesus' example and revolt against what's normal in our culture. Three disciplines that can help us are practicing God's presence, fasting and community.

Confronted By Upside Down
There are two sons in the parable of the Prodigal ...
There are two sons in the parable of the Prodigal Son, and in this passage we find out how the older son responds when the younger son returns home. He's judgmental of his brother, but it's easy to understand why because his reaction stems from a sense of justice that we all share. However, the Kingdom of God challenges us to avoid judgments and instead, extend God's grace to others.

God is Waiting
In the parable of the Prodigal Son, Jesus teaches about ...
In the parable of the Prodigal Son, Jesus teaches about the love of God. Instead of using his power to force us to choose what's best, God loves us so much that he gives us room to cause him pain in our relationship with him. And then when we do, he waits for us to return to him and runs to meet us. God runs to us because he loves us more than we can fathom.

Is God Really Like That?

Our perspective about what God is like deeply affects our relationship with him. Is he a distant, immovable being or does Jesus give us a different view of God? God is more upside down and different than many of us realize.

In the familiar Parable of the Lost Sheep, Jesus shows us a God who, out of his great love, goes after outcasts deprived of opportunities, safety and rights. Sharing from her own personal experience, Shawna illustrates this love and helps us understand the extreme nature of God's goodness.

It's Free but Costs Everything

Jesus' Kingdom is open to all of us, but he asks everything from those who follow him. This is a radical call to actually reorient our lives, which is much more than simply a willingness to do so if the circumstances present themselves. If we take these words of Jesus seriously, they will change our lives in ways we cannot predict.

The Upside Down Invitation

Blessed are those who share in God's Kingdom meal - what an awesome experience! But who gets in on it? Those of us who think that we have the inside track might be shocked at how Jesus turns our expectations upside down. And some of us who are sure we're 'out' will be surprised at Jesus' open invitation.
