Category: The Family 2026

This is the third installment in our series on what it means to be the church. In the first installment, we studied what it means to be a disciple making church family. In the second installment, we studied what it means to be a devoted church family. This week we are looking at what it means to be a generous church family.

Let me start us off with a question today. What do you think it means to be the church? It should not be a stretch to say that the church is not a building or a program, it is a group of people who have been saved and sent by Jesus.

We are beginning a new series today entitled, “The Family” and my aim with this series is for us to hear from God’s Word on what it means to be the church. I have spoken often in my preaching about the shortcomings of the church in the west as well as the unbiblical influence of a westernized, consumer-driven society.
