Receiving the Kingdom
from Mosaic Church Teachings · host Mosaic Church
"Yah but, you can only turn the other cheek so many times; in this world you have to start punching back!" Variations on this sentiment are common in our culture today, including in many Christian circles. The idea is that if you want to win the culture wars, you have to fight power with power. And yet this is the polar opposite of what Jesus taught! In this teaching we kick off a new series on the beatitudes and consider the radically countercultural way of Jesus. The "blessed" life is actually the one of self giving love - the poor in spirit who give up their own lives for the good of others. What if we learned to fight like that?
