Not Like Any Family I've Ever Seen (Matthew 10.24-39)

The reign of God announces a new kind of family, the beloved community, one that doesn’t underwrite a system built on racism, patriarchy, cisgender heterosexual norms, or wealth, or social position.

It’s a different kind of family—one that makes room for those for whom there never seems to be enough room.

The family Jesus announces isn’t first about destroying what you love; it’s about destroying that which—because of its need to retain power, to keep those in control … in control—could never love you back.
