    Contributed by John Dobbs on Apr 25, 2025
     | 126 views

    One of the greatest gifts God gives us is 
the invitation to belong — not just to Him, but to a family — His family.

    God’s Forever Family Introduction Erma Bombeck is one of my favorite authors. Her newspaper column called At Wit’s End was full of humor and wisdom. She wrote books like “If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, What am I doing in the Pits?” and “The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank”. In one of ...read more

    Family Ties

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 7, 2011
     | 3,769 views

    How can Christians be united when there are so many things we can’t agree on? That is the wrong question. The real question is, how can we imagine that any of these human differences can break the unity among us that God has already created?

    Do you know what the Zen Buddhist said to the hot dog vendor? "Make me one with everything." English is a remarkably flexible language. You can play wonderful games with it. "Make for me one hot dog with everything on it" is a far cry from "to become One with everything," which is the Buddhist ...read more

    Everyone who calls on God the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is connected, willy-nilly, to every other Christian. We haven’t any choice about it. We are one, like it or not.

    Do you know what the Zen Buddhist said to the hot dog vendor? “Make me one with everything.” English is a remarkably flexible language. You can play wonderful games with it. “Make for me one hot dog with everything on it” is a far cry from the Buddhist ideal, which is in fact to become One with ...read more

    A New Family Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 540 views

    When we are made new through faith in Jesus, we are adopted into God's family, experiencing love, support, and community. As part of this family, we are called to invite others to join and experience God's love as well.

    Today, we're going to talk about how Jesus' resurrection makes us a part of God's family. You know, sometimes we might feel like we don't fit in or we're not good enough, but guess what? God loves us just the way we are, and He wants us to be a part of His family. God loves us just the way we are, ...read more

    Families that use biology to determine membership should realize by now that they wrote their epitaph. We need to create a SPIRITUAL family, not a biological family.

    To Have It All You Must Love All

    Contributed by Tim May on Mar 15, 2015
     | 5,066 views

    It is easy to love church family members in blue sky moments, but real love is demonstrated in the grey sky days.

    This morning I want to focus on Jesus’ command: “Love each other as I have loved you." Please note it is a command and not a suggestion. You of course know that I as a military person understand the difference between a command and a suggestion. At first glance this command looks easy ...read more

     | 2,138 views

    For the love of family. The family of God, the church, the bride of Christ should be a place where love is felt most, expressed as help, care, and support. Unfortunately that is not always the case. We need to learn from Scripture what it means to love the family of God.

    Video Ill.: Without Love from Shift Worship What is love? Love is the perfect expression of God. I chose that video to start our new study, because I wanted just for a few moments to think about what life would be without love. I wanted us to think for just a few moments about how important ...read more
