Ecclesia - Understanding God's Family

Fatherhood was always God's idea. He always wanted a large family, and He wants us to be part of that family. He is our Daddy, and we're not His only children. He has a big family and we have many siblings. Every family has goals, and as members of God's family, there are things we ought to know: - Christ is the head of the church. -Spiritual leadership was Christ's idea. Ephesians 4:12-12. - Love for the saints: We must have brotherly affection for one another. - Growth in knowledge. Ephesians 1:16-18 - Service. We must discern our role in the body of Christ and contribute. Ephesians 4:16. - Expand the family. God's will is to have all men saved (1 Timothy 2:4), so we must know and execute our role to expand His family.
