This Sunday, Pastor Suzy Silk continued our sermon series, Making Sense of the Church, by unpacking the metaphor of the Church as the Family of God. Throughout the Bible, we see God making a way for mankind to be restored to relationship with Him, and that His pursuit is driven by a desire for a unified family of believers that will live in perfect union with Him and each other. All people have been created in God's image and are able to enter into God's family. The Church is called and enabled to function as a family by God's choice, Jesus' sacrifice, and the Holy Spirit's power, and should be ready and willing to receive anyone and everyone who accepts God's invitation to become His child.
