The life Jesus calls us to will confront our tendency to stereotype, it will upset our schedules, and it will subtract from our bank accounts. It will turn life Upside Down.

The Consequences
November 12, 2017 • Travis Stephens
From Luke 16:19-31 the Upside/Down Kingdom Life changes our perspective in 3 ways: 1) Future over Feast (v19-22) We live in light of the eternal reward of generosity instead of the temporary reward of this world has to offer. 2) Relationship over Relief (v23-26) We live for a relationship with God rather than relief from our suffering. 3) Faith over Sight (v27-31) We live by faith, which by definition, is in something we cannot see. If these changes don't happen, then there are consequences.
The Relationship

We have a complicated relationship with money. Sometimes that relationship is a little too co-dependent. Sometimes it's more Master-slave than it should be. Jesus uses a very interesting parable to show us the best use of our money that will help turn that relationship upside down.
