Vision 2024: The Church is a Family

This last Sunday Bria outlined how and why our primary metaphor for the Church is family.  The family of God is a people led by the Spirit, who experience the fruit of belonging. The family of God is made up of children - defined by the freedom of dependence and teachability.  The family of God will share in Christ’s sufferings and in His glory - a people willing to go as low as He did to lay down our lives for one another.  From the beginning God’s plan has been to draw people to Himself through the covenant love of family. In Christ we see this mission accomplished and we accept the invitation to participate in this family.   Link to Sermon Guide & Activations: 11.24.24 Sermon Guide
