Mission Upside Down episodes
- #166 Our Sabbath RestIn the fourth commandment, God’s people are told to remember the Sabbath day. It’s the 7th day of the week, corresponding to our Saturday. Why do most believers no longer worship on the Sabbath? And how can we apply this commandment today?28 min
- #165 Using God’s Name RightlyLike the first two commandments, the third one is also a prohibition. We are prohibited from using God’s name in unbiblical ways. Not only will we learn some of those wrong ways, but we will consider how to use God’s name rightly.24 min
- #164 Worshiping God in Spirit and TruthThe second commandment is about our worship of God. We must not represent God by any images, or other visible means. We also consider two opposing ways to decide what to include in our worship services.27 min
- #163 God’s Rules in Our Relationship with HimFor believers, the main use of the Ten Commandments is known as the normative use. That is, God’s laws are the norms, the standards, for living thankful lives once we are saved. We also explore the meaning of the first commandment.27 min
- #162 Why Has God Given Us His Laws?In popular thinking, laws are regarded as bad things. People think that laws get in their way, restricting their freedoms. Indeed, some human laws are bad. God’s laws, however, are perfect and are given for our benefit.24 min
- #161 Always Rejoicing in JesusIt’s easy to over-simplify the commands in these verses. That if only believers could wave a kind of magic wand, all their worries will disappear. In this episode we try to carefully interpret and apply important biblical teachings.25 min
- #160 Dealing with Our AnxietiesContinuing our look at Philippians 4, we ask if it’s possible to be rejoicing always. It really depends on our definition of biblical joy, and, most importantly, the meaning of our being in the Lord Jesus.26 min
- #159 Evaluating Church Life HonestlyNo local church is perfect. That’s because it is made up of imperfect believers. In a new series on Philippians 4 about Christian joy, we set this topic in its proper context. The Apostle Paul writes honestly about some of the struggles in that congregation.27 min
- #158 The Mask of Masculinity Part 2We look at three more masks that men wear, according to Lewis Howes: the aggressive mask, the joker mask, and the know-it-all-mask. For better and deeper friendships, we must start to remove these masks.27 min
- #157 The Mask of Masculinity Part 1Scientific studies show that the #1 factor in ordinary human happiness is our social relationships. That includes our friendships. From a book written by Lewis Howes, we will explore what gets in the way of close friendships.23 min
About Mission Upside Down
From the publisher's feed
For 2000 years, the followers of Jesus have been on a mission, even as Jesus himself was on a mission. Often wrongly understood as “saving souls,” this mission of Jesus actually is about bringing…
people into a new kingdom, a new reality. Life in this new kingdom requires not only a change of heart and mind, but a change in life-purpose and worldview. As Jesus himself observes, there are not many people who will want this change. But for those who are changed by God inwardly, life in this new kingdom, brings new meaning and purpose in life. Everyone who becomes part of this new kingdom finds that almost all their prior beliefs, ideas, attitudes, and perspectives become turned “upside down.”
