David Bass: The Right Way Up Kingdom (The Beatitudes Series)

The Beatitudes | The Right Way Up Kingdom What does it really mean to live a blessed life? In this message, we explore Jesus’ teaching in the Beatitudes and discover how His Kingdom turns our expectations upside down. In a world that celebrates power, success, and self-promotion, Jesus calls us to a radically different way of living — one marked by humility, mercy, purity, and a hunger for righteousness. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer puts it, the Beatitudes are a “deliberate reversal of human values.” Through Matthew 5:1–12, we see that true blessing isn’t found in status or achievement, but in a life shaped by the heart of God. This is the way Jesus lived — and the way He invites us to live today. This message challenges us to rethink what it means to follow Jesus and to embrace the values of His Kingdom, even when they go against the grain of the culture around us. 📖 Key Scripture: Matthew 5:1–12 #Beatitudes #TheRightWayUpKingdom #SermonOnTheMount #KingdomLiving #LifeVineyardChurch
