Is love enough to change the world? Explore how Jesus’ illogical kingdom can truly make a difference in the real world in this thought-provoking episode.

Main Ideas: [01:18] We’ve created systems and institutions to give us a sense of security in an uncertain world. [02:07] Our human systems always end up being ruined by humans [02:45] The only way to change the world is through Jesus’ illogical kingdom [05:13] Jesus’ death wasn’t an accident. It was his planned inauguration. [07:09] We think the solution is just a different version of all the other failed solutions. [08:59] A new and better solution requires something new and more demanding [11:38] The Kingdom of God isn’t about having power over others, it’s about giving service to others. [12:18] Jesus put our lives over his. [13:01] Jesus’ service to the world transforms how we see the world. [14:38] The completely ‘different’ of the Kingdom of God is the only thing that can fix our real world. [18:28] In the Kingdom of God we serve because our King first served us.

Invitation: [16:12] If you are ready to live for the Kingdom of God… – Accept Jesus’ invitation to join his kingdom. – Follow the way of the King * Reread Mark 10:42-45 * Practice by serving 5 people this week
