This is the third message in our series ‘Flipped’, which is taken from Jesus’ sermon on the mount. In our first lesson, (Selected), we learned that Jesus is giving a new law to establish a new kingdom. In the second message we learned how Jesus calls us to serve in this new kingdom as salt and light. The rest of the message teaches us what this new kingdom looks like. Today we look at one aspect of how to see each other when we are in conflict. We are not doormats, but we protect the dignity of both people.
