TRANSFORMED | Transformed: Families | Matthew 5:3-12 | Week 9

{Guest Mark (Lisa) Scandrette from San Francisco.} Lisa and I work with an organization we co-founded twenty years ago called ReImagine. It's inspired by Jesus's message of the kingdom. Basically, we're very passionate about helping people integrate the teachings of Christ into everyday life. Our work started in San Francisco, but over the last few years it's taken a global turn. I spend time each year in the U.K., Australia, Bangladesh, and East Africa; I'll be headed to Scandinavia tomorrow. When I got here this weekend, I realized there's a lot in common with South Fellowship's language and some of my passions; I wrote a book called Practicing the Way of Jesus. Maybe this is what's brewing right now, this longing among God's people to say we want to not just believe in Jesus, but also walk in his way. Some of what I'm going to be sharing this morning comes from a couple of books I wrote that are available here today.
Yesterday we got to spend time with moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, and kids talking about family thriving and exploring that topic. We had an amazing time sharing hearts and doing activities and looking at God's vision on how we can be transformed in our family life. What I'm going to be sharing this morning is a little taste of the depth we explored yesterday...
