Sermon Series: God's New People

Sermon Title: (Part 2) The Blessing of Shortage

Scripture Basis: Luke 6:20-23

Summary: Jesus' kingdom stands in contrasts to and replaces the kingdom of this world in his follower's hearts.  In the old kingdom, power, comfort, success and recognition are on top.  But in Jesus' kingdom, weakness, grieving, sacrifice and exclusion are elevated.  As God's new people, he fills us when we empty ourselves.
