Week 4 - Family in the Gospel
We believe that God has taught us through the Scriptures (continually), through His Spirit (presently), and that the proclamation of the Good News will go on for eternity. What we believe is important, because it will affect how we live every moment of our lives.
Week 4 - Family in the Gospel
We believe that God has taught us through the Scriptures (continually), through His Spirit (presently), and that the proclamation of the Good News will go on for eternity. What we believe is important, because it will affect how we live every moment of our lives.
Everything we will talk about today will be in the context of God’s household. Household codes don’t make us family; they show that we are family and honor God. The Church is God’s household. There is a way that God has organized His church and we must look to what He has said to understand it better. We believe this is God’s world; He is good, trustworthy, and He loves us as the church. Because He loves us, He lays out what He does for our good. We never need to shy away from God’s goodness and His intent in how He uses His people.
