In the first message of the “Counterculture” series, Pastor Norman Hurlow explores what it means to live as a disciple of Jesus in a world that values power, wealth, and success. Through Luke 6:20–26, he shows how Jesus turns these values upside down, calling His followers to a life marked by humility, dependence, and trust in God. Using the striking image of living with open hands, Norman challenges us to release control and embrace the countercultural way of the Kingdom—where true blessing is found not in what we hold, but in who holds us.
