In Week 3 of our Upside Down Kingdom series, Kayla Duckett unpacks one of Jesus’ most confronting Beatitudes: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” This message explores grief in all its forms—personal loss, shame‑wrapped grief, sorrow over sin, and lament for a broken world—and why none of it disqualifies us from God’s presence.

Through Scripture, lived experience, and reflections from C.S. Lewis, this message reminds us that grief is not a faith failure but a sign of love—and that Jesus meets us not with explanations, but with His presence. Whether your grief is visible or hidden, recent or long‑carried, this message invites you to bring it honestly before God and discover the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

What does it truly mean to be poor in spirit?
In this message from Matthew 5:1–3, Josh Duckett opens the Beatitudes by exploring humility, dependence on God, and the upside‑down nature of God’s kingdom. Discover how poverty of spirit is not self‑hatred, but honest humility — the doorway to a Spirit‑filled life and the place where kingdom living begins.

This message invites us to lay down self‑sufficiency, embrace repentance, and step into a deeper relationship with the Father.

In this message, Kayla Duckett launches our new series The Upside Down Kingdom, exploring how Jesus introduces a kingdom that turns the values of the world on their head.

Through Matthew 4 and the teachings of Jesus, we’re invited to rethink what power, success, strength, and victory really look like in God’s kingdom. This message unpacks repentance not as shame or condemnation, but as a gracious invitation to change our minds, realign our lives, and live as citizens of a kingdom that is already here and still to come.

On Easter Sunday, Josh Duckett explores what it means to follow Jesus through imitation, not just information. Drawing from Paul’s call to “imitate me as I imitate Christ,” this message reminds us that resurrection life is meant to be lived out and seen through ordinary people who put Jesus first.

Easter isn’t just a celebration that Jesus is alive — it’s the beginning of a movement where faith spreads from life to life. As we grow in relationship with Jesus, our lives begin to reflect His love, light, and sacrifice.

The challenge is simple: who is watching your life, and what are they learning about Jesus?

This week Joseph Vink teaches us that true freedom comes from surrendering the false self and centering life on God, not ourselves.

Using Job 38 and Galatians 2:20, he shows that the world does not revolve around our understanding—real identity is found in Christ living through us.
