Discipleship & Community: A Connected Life

Devoted believers share truth, life, and disciplines centered on Christ. As we move from simply attending to truly belonging to a covenant community, God shapes us together into a people who reflect His love and mission.

Word: A Rooted Life

As prayer is our response to a covenantal relationship with God, Scripture is God’s voice that forms His people through teaching, correction, and training. As we consistently engage and respond to His Word, we become rooted, transformed to live out His covenant purposes as disciples of Jesus.  

Prayer: A Dependent Life

Jesus teaches his disciples that prayer is not a vending machine or a checklist of requests, but rather a response to our covenantal relationship with God, rooted in identity, trust, and alignment with His will. The Lord’s Prayer is an invitation to live as God’s people, shaped by our dependence on his leading, provision, and grace. 

The One Another Experience

Guest speaker, Dr. David Mabry from Encompass Ministries, explores the biblical framework for building healthy, Christ-centered relationships by focusing on the New Testament's "one another" commands.

By breaking down our relational calling into five actionable steps, we can move beyond simply existing near people and into intentional engagement, bringing Jesus' heart into our daily interactions.

The Reason Why

On the first Easter morning in Luke 24, the women arrive at the tomb expecting death--but in the Upside Down Kingdom, graves give birth to life! The stone is rolled away, He is not there, and the greatest flip in history is revealed--Jesus is ALIVE! What looked like the end was actually just the beginning, and God is still turning our stories right-side up today.

The Arrival

In this message, we look at Jesus' "cleansing" of the temple through a different lens. Rather than just an act of anger, we see Jesus clearing out the "business as usual" to make room for those on the margins. We often think the way of Christ is "upside down," but when we see that life comes through death--just like pruning a tree for new growth--we realize it's actually the only way to live right-side up. What needs to be cleared out of your life to make room for what God wants to do?

The Humble

In the Upside Down Kingdom of Jesus, humility and confidence find common ground in the light of God’s mercy. Luke 18:9-14 will help us check our posture, revealing whether we are performing for OR relating to God. 

The Found

In Luke 15, Jesus tells three parables of a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son. But the stories are less about lost things and more about the heart of God who searches for those who are far from Him. The Upside Down Kingdom reminds us that while people may focus on the what or who went wrong, heaven celebrates those who are found.

The Unexpected

In Luke 10:25–37, Jesus never calls the Samaritan “good,” yet his compassion crosses cultural and religious boundaries and reveals what true goodness looks like in the Upside Down Kingdom. In a story filled with questions, we are left with one that matters most to Jesus; “Will I become a neighbor who shows mercy?”

The Scared

In Luke 8, a storm reveals the disciples’ fear, but it also shows the power of Jesus’ presence. In the Upside Down Kingdom, faith is not the absence of fear—it is learning to trust the One who is in the boat with us.
