CONNECTION CHURCH

Did Jesus come to abolish the Old Testament Law, or did He come to fulfill it? We're diving deep into Matthew 5:17-48 to see how Jesus radically elevates the standard of righteousness. It's not about outward obedience, but an inside-out heart transformation that addresses the root of sin like anger and lust. Discover why integrity, simple truth, and the countercultural command to love our enemies are the true marks of the Upside-Down Kingdom. #connectionchurch #manitowoc #church #worship #bible #sermon #preaching #God #Jesus #sermononthemount #matthew5 Series: The Upside-Down Kingdom Speaker: Peter Leschke Location: 1455 North Rapids Road Manitowoc, WI 54220

Sermon Summary: If the Kingdom of Heaven is here and now, what does that actually look like in our Monday-morning lives? This week, we're diving into Jesus' radical declaration that you are the Salt of the Earth and the Light of the World. This isn't a suggestion—it's a statement of fact! Discover how to intentionally interact with your community and home, enhance the world around you, and push back the darkness without losing your distinct Christian identity. #connectionchurch #manitowoc #church #worship #bible #sermon #preaching #God #Jesus #SaltAndLight #Matthew5 #ChristianLiving #UpsideDownKingdom Series: The Upside-Down Kingdom Speaker: Pastor Christine Dondlinger Location: 1455 North Rapids Road Manitowoc, WI 54220

Sermon Summary: We're continuing our series, "The Upside-Down Kingdom," by exploring the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. Many of these teachings are familiar, but they're not just nice quotes—they are a radical description of what life looks like when God's kingdom breaks into our world. This sermon challenges our assumptions by showing that true blessing isn’t found in what the world values, but in a completely different way of life defined by humility, mercy, and peacemaking. #connectionchurch #manitowoc #church #worship #bible #sermon #preaching #God #Jesus #Beatitudes #TheUpsideDownKingdom #Matthew5 Series: The Upside-Down Kingdom Speaker: Barry Buechner Location: 1455 North Rapids Road Manitowoc, WI 54220

Have you ever heard the phrase "the kingdom of heaven is at hand" and wondered what that even means? We're kicking off a brand-new series called "The Upside-Down Kingdom" by diving into the most famous words Jesus ever spoke: the Sermon on the Mount. It's an invitation to a different way of life that completely flips our expectations and challenges us to look for God's kingdom in places we might not expect.
