THE KING AND HIS KINGDOM - MATTHEW 12:46-50

RONALD REAGAN – “AS THE FAMILY GOES, SO GOES OUR CIVILIZATION”

WHAT IS A FAMILY? 

BIOLOGICAL TERMS -  A FAMILY IS ANY GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT HAS BEEN UNITED BY BLOOD, MARRIAGE, AND BY ADOPTION. 

WHO IS MY FAMILY?

MATTHEW 12:46

4 THINGS TO CONSIDER IN THIS VERSE

THE FAMILY OF JESUS?

THE LOCATION OF THAT FAMILY?

THE CONDITION OF THAT FAMILY?

THE INTERRUPTION OF THAT FAMILY?

THE FAMILY OF JESUS

-             JESUS HAD 4 BIOLOGICAL BROTHERS 

-             JESUS HAD SISTERS 

THE LOCATION OF THE FAMILY – THEY ARE NOT INSIDE THE ROOM….THEY ARE OUTSIDE OF THE ROOM 

YOU CAN BE SO CLOSE TO THE LORD AND STILL NOT KNOW HIM

THE CONDITION OF THE FAMILY – THEY ARE NOT BELIEVERS 

THE INTERRUPTION OF THE FAMILY – THEY WERE SEEKING TO SPEAK TO HIM

MATTHEW 12:47 

MATTHEW 12:48-50

The Lord places a greater priority on his spiritual family 

A DISCIPLE - IS A LEARNER OF JESUS. A FOLLOWER OF JESUS. THEY DO THE WILL OF JESUS. THEY LOVE THE PEOPLE OF JESUS.

YOUR KINGDOM RELATIONSHIPS ARE YOUR GREATEST RELATIONSHIPS
