Christians are brothers and sisters in God’s Family, but we have not always been members of this Family. How did we come into the Family? How did we join the Family of God? In this sermon Pastor David explains that all who trust in Christ have been Adopted by Grace into the Family of God.

Being a Christian, by definition, involves belonging to the Church. It means being members of the Household of God, and belonging to His Family. In this sermon, Pastor David begins a new series about the Life of the church, and about Christian community and fellowship. What does it look like to share our lives in God’s Family? For many Christians church life is a Sunday morning worship service and that’s all. A few more add to that a class of some kind, Sunday School or Wednesday Bible Study. But you simply can’t read the New Testament in search of what church life is supposed to be, and come away thinking that worship services and classes are the sum total. No. We’re supposed to be involved in one another’s lives, bearing one another’s burdens. We’re supposed to know each others needs so we can help and care for one another. We need to be there for each other, offering support. We must treat each other as family.

Whose reputation are you building? Whose glory are you seeking? At the Tower of Babel, the people wanted to make a name for themselves, but in the rest of the chapter we discover God chooses to give a great name. In this sermon pastor David explains what it means that God promised to bless Abram with a great name and why it matters for us today.
