Shifting the mindset of the western church.....
Part 1 - The Kingdom of God is a Family Paradigm
Tim lays the foundation for the Kingdom of God as a family, and calls us to examine how our own experience of our family of origin (growing up) has shaped how we approach Kingdom family.
Part 2 - The Church is a Family Business
Tim borrows from a more agricultural age idea of the family business - we do family together, and we run a business together. The church in mission - transforming the hearts of people, cities, and nations - is the family business, and there are two key lies that hit family life and undermine our fruitfulness.
Part 3 - Family Dynamics, Offence, and Forgiveness
The simple reality of life is, the closer we get to people, and the more time we spend with people, the more likely they are to annoy us! In Kingdom family, we will experience dysfunction. A healthy family gets really good at genuine forgiveness that is rooted in healthy emotional processes. If we don't learn this, we will stay very immature. As we do this, we will grow up into the fullness that we are created for.
Part 4 - Celebrating The Father Around The Family Meal
Kingdom family has the ultimate Father, and He is so much better than we think. In a brief dive into the Parable of The Prodigal Son, which should be called The Parable of The Rockstar Father, Tim leads us into communion (the family meal) by reminding us of what He is really like.
