Series Ideas: Upside Down…

September 23, 2008 in Uncategorized,x with 4 Comments

I’m thinking of a sermon series that would be called Upside Down…or Flipped…or Backwards…

It would focus on the upside down thinking of Jesus.  Principles he taught and lived by that might be considered backwards.

Example:
Love your enemies.
Lose your life to gain it.
Rejoice in your trials.
etc…

**EDIT 092308**

Apparently David A. has been doing some sermon thinking as well.  He has a series planned for January along the same lines.  Read about it here.  This will be a good opportunity to see this idea in action and possibly adapt it for the students.

    Tonight I got a chuckle out of the fact that you referred to me as David A. That was my name in second grade.

    Haha. Well there are 2 Davids that read this. I had to identify which one I was talking about.

    Oh my gosh…we all need to put our heads together…
    We are doing that very series now. But we call it
    “re: (and then there is the the mac edit/undo button rotated to point upwards)”
    REimagine
    REnew
    REspond
    We are using the verse from Message…
    I came to change everything, turn everything right side up. Luke 12:50
    We started with the Beatitudes and are finding that moving thru the Sermon on Mount works…
    We should all really work together on stuff like this…
    It’s crazy how we all have the same ideas…

    Your ska music video led my here… :)
