S03E06 – The Kingdom of God and Satisfaction

In the sixth week of The Upside Down Kingdom series, Pastor Joby taught through the kingdom of God and satisfaction. Last week we asked the question, what are you doing with your one and only life? Often the comforts of this world have the ability to quiet God’s calling and lull us into spiritual sleep. When we take our eyes off the mission God calls us to in the great commission, we end up chasing pleasure instead of purpose. God has put eternity in our hearts so we would live for his glor...

S03E05 – The Kingdom of God and Work

What are you doing with your one and only life? This week we dive into the kingdom of God and work. God’s calling looks different for everyone, but we know God created each and every one of us for one purpose: to live out the great commission laid out in Matthew 28:19, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” The key question is this: what is your role in the great commission? How are you leveraging yo...

S03E04 – The Kingdom of God and Sex

PG-13 warning: This week’s episode is best for adult ears. In week 4 of The Upside Down Kingdom, Pastor Joby teaches through the radical difference between what the world and God says about sex. This week he’s joined by Pastors Ryan Britt and Trey Brunson. We see how the world views sex all over movies, television and magazines, that sex is merely physical. But God created sex for intimacy between a husband and wife, fueled by exclusivity in the covenant of marriage. 19 Or do you not know...

S03E03 – The Kingdom of God and Power

This week Pastors Joby, Britt and Vinke dive into the kingdom of God and power. The world’s definition of greatness is being lifted up at the expense of others; Jesus defined greatness as being the servant of all. Greatness in the kingdom means being close to Jesus, submitted to his authority, enduring suffering and serving like Jesus served. Join us as we discuss what it looks like to be a faithful follower of Jesus no matter where he has placed you in this world. If you missed the sermon...

S03E02 – The Kingdom of God and Money

It's week two of The Upside Down Kingdom series and Pastor Joby is joined again by Pastors Jonathan Vinke and Ryan Britt. Join their conversation as they continue to explore how living in the kingdom of God relates to money, generosity and what we treasure. According to Jesus, money is the number one competitor for our heart; want to know who or what you worship? Check your bank statement. God wants us to be blessed and free by putting him first in all things. "No one can serve two masters,...

S03E01 - Thy Kingdom Come

This week, Pastor Joby is joined by Pastors Jonathan Vinke and Ryan Britt, and together they continue the conversation after week one of The Upside Down Kingdom series. Our reality operates with two kingdoms: the kingdom of God and kingdom of this world. We were brought to this world by God for a purpose with an enemy who wants to steal, kill and destroy. But we know God is Lord over His entire Kingdom, both in Heaven and on earth. Listen as they talk through lies of the enemy, sins of the w...

S03E01 - Thy Kingdom Come

This week, Pastor Joby is joined by Pastors Jonathan Vinke and Ryan Britt, and together they continue the conversation after week one of The Upside Down Kingdom series. Our reality operates with two kingdoms: the kingdom of God and kingdom of this world. We were brought to this world by God for a purpose with an enemy who wants to steal, kill and destroy.

S02E28 - Forgive One Another

We made it to the final “one another” this season, and that’s to forgive one another. Unforgiveness will lead to bitterness, closing off relationships to one another and to God. Forgive one another as the Lord has forgiven you.¹² Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, ¹³ bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgiv...

S02E27 - Encourage One Another

This week we have a special guest, hearing from Pastor Ryan Britt about encouraging one another. Our words have power; how are you using yours? You never know what kind of impact your words of encouragement might have on someone’s life. We encourage YOU to encourage someone this week. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. - 1 Thessalonians 5:11

S02E26 - Love One Another Deeply

S02E25 - Submit to One Another Out of Reverence for Christ

A great relationship with one another is ultimately defined by mutual submission out of reverence for Christ. Whether it be in marriage, between children and parents or between bosses and employees, may we humble ourselves and submit ourselves to one another, just as Christ did for us.

S02E24 - Live in Harmony with One Another

If the Church comes together as one, rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ, the world would take notice.Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. – Romans 12:16Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. – 1 Peter 3:8

S02E23 - Pray for One Another

Forgiveness of sin comes from Jesus alone, but often healing comes in the context of community. Who are you praying for? Who do you have in your life that’s praying for you?Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. – James 5:16

S02E22 - Love One Another

More than any other, we are commanded to love one another as He has loved us. We can’t do this alone; Jesus invites us to abide in Him and He will abide in us. The more we abide in Jesus, the more fruit we bear that can pour out to love one another unconditionally, like Christ has loved us. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. – John 15:12

S02E21 - Spur One Another On Toward Love and Good Deeds

This week’s one another comes from Hebrews 10. May we always encourage one another and surround ourselves with those that continually point us to Jesus.If you need community like this in your life, join a disciple group! Find a group at coe22.com/disciplegroups. ²⁴ And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, ²⁵ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. – Hebrews 10:24-25

S02E20 - Wash One Another’s Feet

This week, Pastor Joby talks about the event in John 13 when Jesus washes the disciples’ feet. He washes the feet of those that would follow Him, betray Him and deny Him.Many people find themselves in places of authority, not just at work, but at home as moms or dads. What do you do when you find yourself in a place of authority? What would it look like for you to “wash the feet” of those around you? If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another'...

S02E19 - Honor One Another Above Yourself

Jesus laid down His perfection and took from us our sin, not because we deserved it, but because He decided He was going to do it on our behalf. That’s what honor is. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. – Romans 12:10

S02E18 - Accept One Another, as Christ Accepted You

In a world that tries to tear us apart, the gospel informs us that just as Christ welcomed us, we are to welcome one another for the glory of God. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. - Romans 15:7

S02E17 - Carry One Another’s Burdens

One of the primary ways to love one another is to bear one another’s burdens. In this week’s devo, Pastor Joby talks about Mary, Martha and their brother, Lazarus. In John 11, we see how Jesus carries the burdens of his friends. Jesus knows Lazarus is going to die and He is going to bring Lazarus back to life, but he meets Mary and Martha where they are and bear their burden when they needed it most. He weeps with those who are weeping. We’re called to bear one another’s burdens because Jesus...

S02E16 - Speak to One Another with Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs

The way we speak to one another matters. The way we speak to one another is not a reflection of the mouth, but a reflection of the heart.Are you speaking life, or are you speaking death? ¹⁹ addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, ²⁰ giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. – Ephesians 5:19-21

S02E15 - Let Us Not Become Conceited, Provoking and Envying One Another

We can not simultaneously look down our nose on other people and fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith. ²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. ²⁶ Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. - Galatians 5:25-26

S02E14 - Do Not Lie to One Another

The most commanded one another is to love one another. You can't love one another if you lie to one another. There's plenty of reasons why we lie; maybe it's for the applause of man or maybe it's to keep parts of our lives in the dark. But Jesus died on the cross so we can live in light of the gospel and walk in the freedom Christ came to give us.⁹ Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices ¹⁰ and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in...

S02E13 - Stop Passing Judgment On One Another

Last week, Pastor Joby taught through exhorting one another, holding one another accountable and pointing back to the eternal well of living water only Christ can offer. There's a difference between exhorting and passing judgment. It's putting your own preferences and opinions aside and continuously pointing to the gospel. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. - Romans 8:1

S02E12 - Exhort One Another

We all get thirsty for the temporary things of this world that will never satisfy. Do you have people in your life to point you back to the eternal well of living water of Jesus Christ? Are you doing that to others? But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. - Hebrews 3:13

S02E11 - Serve One Another

Are you using the gifts God has given you? As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: - 1 Peter 4:10

S02E10 - Not Bitten or Devoured by One Another

We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Our salvation can’t be earned. ¹³ For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. ¹⁴ For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another. - Galatians 5:13-15

S02E09 - Bear With One Another in Love

² with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, ³ eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. - Ephesians 4:2-3Are you eager for division and point out what everyone else is doing wrong, or are you eager to maintain unity by showing grace?

S02E08 - Confess Your Sins to One Another

Confession matters. When you're confessing your sins to one another, you're not confessing so that you may be forgiven, you're confessing that you HAVE BEEN forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. - James 5:16

S02E07 - Humility Toward One Another
