We Are Family
Of all the words, pictures, and metaphors used to describe the church, one stands out above the rest: family. In fact, it isn’t a metaphor at all—it’s true! We are family. God is our Father, Jesus is our brother [Hebrews 2:10-13], and we are literally sisters and brothers in Christ. This is good news for all of us! Whether we live alone, are single, divorced, single parents, or don’t fit the “traditional family” mold, we have true and eternal family in the church. We’ll conclude our Family Resemblance series by rejoicing in the reality that God has adopted us into His family. And we’ll learn how God wants us to love, nurture, and support one another in a way that reflects His glory.
Scripture References: Ephesians 2:19-22
From Series: "Family Resemblance"
All of us have distinctive features. Some have dimples, others have high cheekbones, and some have protruding chins, curly hair, or button noses. We’ve inherited our features from our parents, and often there is a resemblance between us and those in our family. Just as biological children have similarities to their parents, God wants His spiritual children to resemble Him as those who bear His image and His name. In this upcoming sermon series, we’ll look at sexuality, parenting, marriage, singleness, and widening the circle of our own family as we consider how we can bear the image of our Heavenly Father well in every part of our lives. This will be a great way to start the new year together. Join us!
