The podcast discusses the impact of preaching the gospel, emphasizing that it can turn the world upside down, and highlights the resistance faced by the church, drawing parallels to modern spiritual struggles.


Key Points

Turning the World Upside Down

• [3:03 ] The early disciples were accused of turning the world upside down by preaching that Jesus is the true King, contrary to the decrees of Caesar.
• [4:02 ] The disciples were arrested and brought before the authorities for teaching that there is another King, Jesus, in addition to Caesar.
• [4:49 ] Preaching the gospel of the kingdom means declaring that Jesus is the only true King, which goes against the decrees of earthly rulers.

Opposition to the Gospel

• [6:14 ] The Jews sought to turn the people against the disciples by enlisting the help of "baser sort" and "agitators" from the marketplace.
• [9:49 ] Jesus faced similar accusations of perverting the nation and forbidding tribute to Caesar when he preached the gospel of the kingdom.
• [11:46 ] The early church was accused of teaching "customs which are not lawful" for the Romans to observe, because they preached the gospel of the kingdom.

The Spiritual Battle

• [13:27 ] The world hates those who preach the truth and turn the world upside down, because they are of their "father the devil."
• [19:10 ] The devil is the "Father of lies" and works to pervert the truth, deceiving people into following their own ways rather than God's truth.
• [22:26 ] As believers, our mission is to turn the world upside down by preaching the gospel of the kingdom and declaring Jesus as the true King, even in the face of opposition.
