Upside Down Dependency (Matthew 7:7-12)
About this episode
Pastor Nate Holdridge discusses how to live the kingdom life as described by Jesus in Matthew 7:7-12.
Title : Upside Down Dependency Speaker : Nate Holdridge Overview: In this week's message from our Upside Down Kingdom series through the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Nate Holdridge opens Matthew 7:7–12 and asks the question every honest disciple eventually arrives at: How can I possibly live the kingdom life Jesus has described? As Jesus winds down his longest recorded sermon, he turns from demand to provision, giving three extraordinary resources—persistent prayer, a good Father, and a Spirit-fueled imagination for loving others. These are gifts secured by Jesus himself, who prayed in our place, lost his Father so we could gain one, and fulfilled the Golden Rule on the cross before ever asking it of us. This is a message for anyone weary of their own limitations, wrestling with a longstanding unanswered prayer, or longing to see the Father more clearly. The kingdom life is impossible without Jesus—and, through him, genuinely within reach. Link to Sermon Notes Link to Discussion Questions
