FAMILY PORTRAIT - Part 1: C'mon, Get in the Picture!

SERMON SERIES SYNOPSIS: Most people think of church as a building, a service, or an organization. God calls it a family.In Ephesians, we discover God's design for His family—the Church. Through Jesus Christ, people from every background and generation are brought together as sons and daughters of God, brothers and sisters in Christ. Like every healthy family, God's family has an identity, relationships, leadership, responsibilities, and a purpose.In this series, we'll explore who belongs in God's family, how we become part of it, how we're called to relate to one another, how spiritual leaders guide and protect the family, and how every member contributes to its growth and health.Join us as we discover what it means to be a part of God's Family Portrait.SERMON SUMMARY: Ever been told, "Hey...c'mon, get in the picture!"? That's exactly what God has done through Jesus Christ. By His grace, He invites us out of isolation and into His family, not as spectators, but as sons and daughters.In this talk, discover how the gospel of Jesus Christ gives you a new identity, a place to belong, and a spot in God's family portrait.SERMON TEXT: Ephesians 1:3-14, 2:1-10,19—For a deeper study of God's Word, plus daily resources for your walk with Jesus, visit https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/join/nwcog.—With North Webster Community Church Online, you can join us every Sunday live at 9:30a, and our gatherings are available on-demand!
