"Live From Above" | Mark 12:13-27 | Matt Carlson

What traps are shaping your life without you even realizing it? In this powerful message from Mark 12, we watch Jesus face off against political and religious elites trying to trap Him with tricky questions...and instead, He exposes their flawed thinking and points to something far greater: the eternal.

From political polarization to fear of death, from chasing approval to being stuck in past mistakes—we all face mental and spiritual traps. But the gospel offers us something better: a new perspective from above.

Discover how living “above the line” changes everything...your identity, your purpose, even how you face trials. Learn how Jesus refused to be defined by temporary debates and instead invites us into a deeper freedom grounded in the unseen, eternal reality of God’s kingdom.

👆 You’re not stuck.
🕊 There’s freedom.
🙌 Jesus went below the line so you could live above it.

📖 Mark 12:13-27
