This message is part of our series The Way of the Kingdom, a journey through Luke 12–19 where Jesus shows us what it means to live as his disciples in a world that’s not our home.

In this talk, The Upside-Down Kingdom, we dive into Luke 14 and see Jesus heal on the Sabbath, challenge pride at a banquet, and tell the parable of the great feast. Through it all, he reveals what life in God’s Kingdom is really like — where the humble are lifted up, the outsider is welcomed in, and the invitation of the King overturns all our assumptions about status and belonging.

If you’ve ever wondered how to approach God without pretence, how to show hospitality that reflects His heart, or how to be sure of your place at His table, this passage holds both comfort and challenge: the King Himself has made room for you — will you take your seat?
