The Upside Down Kingdom (1st Samuel)
This year, we turn to 1 Samuel for a new series called "The Upside Down Kingdom". It's not hard to see our need for it — from the chaos in our classrooms and homes, to the clashes in our culture, to the corruption we watch play out in human government, everywhere we look is evidence of the same problem Judges named: "everyone did what was right in their own eyes." Ancient Israel reached for the same fix we still reach for today: a king, someone strong enough to set things right. But when God gives Israel her king in 1st Samuel, he confounds every expectation. Where we look for power, glory, and strength, God looks at the heart. Where we exalt the proud, God lays them low and lifts up the humble. The kingdom God establishes isn't built by our strength but by His — and it points ahead to the King who would ultimately fulfill it, Jesus Himself.
Over the next eight months, we'll trace this story together — from Hannah's prayer and Samuel's rise, through Saul's tragic reign, to David, the shepherd king after God's own heart. Along the way, we'll ask what it looks like to surrender to this King and live as citizens of His upside-down kingdom, right here in Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, and beyond.
Join us this year as we walk through the pages of 1st Samuel and learn to trust a King whose strength, not ours, is what saves.
Introduction to 1st Samuel
As we kick off our year of renewed REACH into Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, and beyond, we begin with Hannah's Song in 1 Samuel 2:1–10, a prayer that sets the melodic line for the whole story: God humbles the proud and exalts the humble as He establishes His upside-down Kingdom. Hannah's life—marked by years of barrenness, stubborn prayer, and a boast rooted entirely in God rather than herself—teaches us that real, lasting fruit for the Kingdom rarely comes through drive and charisma alone, but through humility, weakness, and dependence on God.
As we look toward reaching our city this year, we're praying that the Lord would make us a church of Hannahs: broken, dependent, and trusting in the God who alone can do what we cannot.
