God's Vision for Family

In this message Pastor John urges us to see our church as our family. The church is a healing community, a home base for our children, and a place for singles to find and create family. The church is also a place for older adults to invest. We are reminded that Israel was God's family, and that in the New Testament, the early church became a place for spiritual mothers and fathers to live out God's mission in the world. Pastor John encourages us not to be passive "passengers" at church, but to see our church body as a family and to participate as a family member.
