Hearts Transformed Class, Rm 203, 2nd Floor
This class studies the weekly worship sermon... “Blessed are the Troublemakers”
Matthew 5:1-12
The blessing in Matthew’s text is not about being fortunate in an earthly way. It’s about being aligned with God’s purpose, and participating in God’s future. So we seek the blessing of following leaders who have shown us how to get into “good trouble” - disrupting norms, creating discomfort, knowing that all of it works for the greater purpose of creating the beloved community that God wills for all.
