This is the second video in our sermon series called “Flipped!”. In the first series we saw how Jesus gave the sermon on the mount to establish a new kingdom. In the ‘Beatitudes’, (the message called ‘Selected’), we saw how Jesus invited the listener to this new kingdom. He then calls those who respond to be ‘salt and light’. This is how we serve in this new kingdom.

This is week 5 of a six week series called “Flipped”. In it, we are looking at the Sermon on the Mount, and how Jesus turned the world upside down with it! Today we examine materialism. Sometimes it’s wanting to keep up with the Jones’s. Other times we are searching for security and think possessions can bring it. But, ultimately only Jesus gives us what we most need. And our relationships are the second greatest gift from God.

Charity is a difficult topic! Many people today sincerely need help. Sadly, many other people abuse the generosity of others. In this message we will look to one aspect of giving found in the Sermon on the Mount. Lord willing, this can give us wisdom to help discern how God is leading us in our own acts of charity.
