Core Part 7: We Are Family (Acts 2:42-47; John 13:34-35)

God sets the lonely into families. In Christ, we are adopted, not into an 'organization,' but as sons and daughters, as brothers and sisters of Jesus. Embracing healthy local church family includes learning a lifestyle that prioritizes fellowship together, loving one another, one another's success, and enjoying real life together. The early church grasped something wonderful about practicing our faith as a family, not only in more formal gatherings, but also throughout the week. They became living evidence to the world around them of God's amazing love. Imagine what God will do today in a church family who embraces one another like this!
