The Church, The Family of God

Feb 15, 2026    Pastor Gordon

At the heart of this powerful message lies a profound truth we often overlook: we were created for family. From before the foundation of the world, God's eternal purpose wasn't to build institutions or organizations, but to adopt us into His family through Jesus Christ. Christ loves the church so deeply that He gave His life for it. We cannot claim to love Jesus while rejecting His bride, His body, His family. The church isn't optional for the committed Christian; it's essential for spiritual life and maturity. This message calls us to embrace our identity as saved and baptized believers who belong not just to Christ, but to each other, forming one interconnected body where every member matters and contributes to the whole.
