Have you heard someone say something that seemed backwards? This week we begin our new small group series "Upside Down" based on the beatitudes in Matthew 5. Jesus begins with blessed or happy are the poor…does Jesus want us to be poor? Join us and find out as we dive in on how to live a better way of life.

Building on from week 1, we will continue to discuss how ministry isn't always planned, oftentimes it interrupts our day. Sometimes it happens at the most unexpected moment. This week we will look to the story of a paralyzed man, and the grace that he finds in Jesus.

When pain and grief come, it's easy to withdraw. Jesus himself experienced grief when his cousin John was murdered.  Yet Jesus showed that it is possible to minister even when dealing with loss. This week we will look at a side of Jesus that shows pain and grief can help inform us of how we can be better equipped to serve.

A common thread in Jesus' ministry was ministering to and fighting for the vulnerable. Jesus calls us to do the same today as he did in his time. This week we will look at several stories that show our calling to be compassionate, empathetic, and bring hope.
