The Upside Down Kingdom: Wisdom For Life From The Beatitudes

IMG_6033-1

In our sinful world, we often struggle with anxiety, loneliness, and heartache. Everywhere we look, we see broken families and divided communities. How can we truly cultivate God’s kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven” in such a broken place? 

Thankfully, Jesus provides practical wisdom through the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:2–12). The Upside Down Kingdom applies this wisdom as a sharp plow to the soil of our heart, overturning our misguided assumptions and affections. In its place, Jesus implants the counterintuitive vision of his Father’s world, the “blessed” life that he intends for his people—not just in the future, but here and now.
