The last will be first? Leaders will be servants? Those who die will live? The poor will be rich? The weak will be strong?
So often, the Kingdom of God is upside-down. When we truly dig into who Jesus Christ was, and what He's called us to do, we don't find what we thought we'd find. God's ways are mysterious, and we often find Him doing what we would least expect.
As we journey through this season called Lent, the 40 days leading toward the celebration of Christ's death and resurrection, this 'upside-downness' of the Kingdom is brought clearly into focus. Who would think to overcome death by dying? Who would think to establish a Kingdom by being humble? Who would think that God would die in humanity's place?
We invite you to become part of Chapel Next and join us as we seek to be like Christ, embracing the seemingly backwards way that God works, moving forward purposefully to what God has in store for us, and finding life along the upside-down road that leads to His Kingdom.
