The King Among the Cows
Upside Down Love Lesson 3: The King Among the Cows (Spiritual) 13 min. Have you ever met someone really famous? They likely had an entourage taking care of them and lots of paparazzi snapping pics of everything they did. They probably lived the life of luxury!

Yet He didn’t live in a royal mansion and wasn’t born in the best hospital. In fact, He was born in a barn, and this is completely upside down to what you would expect!

The Faithful Fishermen
Upside Down Love Lesson 4: The Faithful Fishermen (Spiritual) 13 min. Have you ever stood between two teams and knew you wouldn’t be picked? Doesn’t it seem like the richest, prettiest, strongest, and smartest are always the ones to get ahead? But not with Jesus. He chose the lowly, the humble, the outcasts, and the poor to join Him—normal people with normal problems. His upside-down approach shows clearly that we are chosen, not because of something great about us, but because He is good and powerful, and THAT is GREAT news for us all!

Probably none! Which is why is it so upside down to the world’s standards that the GREATEST leader of all, Jesus, did just that! One of the most amazing upside-down moments in history was when He was judged and condemned and undeservingly took our place on the cross to die for us to take away our sins. That huge turning point in ALL of time changes EVERYTHING in your life now and after you die.
