In a world that celebrates the wealthy, famous, and powerful, Jesus offered a radically different view of blessing. Could it be that those who feel broken, anxious, or overlooked are actually the most welcome in God's kingdom? Discover the upside-down values that have transformed millions of lives for centuries.

The Sermon on the Mount represents Jesus' revolutionary kingdom values that contrast sharply with worldly priorities. Beginning with the Beatitudes, Jesus blesses those the world often overlooks—the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, and those hungering for righteousness. These teachings aren't just ethical guidelines but a description of life under God's reign, where the spiritually poor, the humble, and even the persecuted are considered blessed. Living according to these upside-down values inevitably creates tension with cultural norms, yet offers true freedom and belonging in God's kingdom.
