Disruptive Reign: How the Kingdom of God Shakes up the Status Quo, Luke 12:49-59

Sometimes Jesus says things that we don’t expect. Sometimes the things that Jesus says are hard for us to grasp and make sense of. The sermon text for this weekend is one of those times. 
 
There is nothing greater than following Jesus by faith. It’s what we are created for. While at the same time we have all experienced hardships as a direct result of following Jesus. What do we do with this? 
 
This weekend we are going to study Luke 12:49-59 and the sermon title is Disruptive Reign - how the Kingdom of God shakes up the status quo. 
 
The big question this text brings up is, how should we live in a world that is deeply loved by God, but wants to put God in a manageable box?
