Upside-Down

Four lessons on Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount

Upside-Down is a four-lesson series that explores how Jesus’ teaching turned everyone’s ideas of religion and life upside down. In one of his most-quoted sermons, he showed us that the Kingdom of God is way different and far better than we could have imagined. These four lessons on the Sermon on the Mount will challenge students to take a deeper look at what sin, justice, prayer, and godly living are really about. 

​Lessons on the Go are easy-to-use youth ministry lessons that are Bible-based and single-focused. They’re designed to help everyone from volunteer leaders to experienced full-time youth workers quickly facilitate great discussions with clear takeaways and real-life application steps. 

FOUR LESSONS:

1. Different Kind Of Justice: We naturally want to defend ourselves, but God asks us to worry
   more about loving others and leave the defending and protecting up to him. (Matthew 5:38-48)
2. The Secret Service: God doesn’t ask for showy, fake lip-service. He asks for quiet,
   daily faithfulness. (Matthew 6:1-18)
3. Straight To The Heart: Sin is more than just an occasional mistake, it’s a deep
   heart-sickness that we all have. (Matthew 5:21-30)
4. Rock-Solid: A strong, unbreakable life has to be founded in Jesus’ trustworthy
   life and teaching. (Matthew 7:24-29)
