Members of a Family
What does it look like for the church to truly become a family?
In Romans 12:9–13, Pastor Zach Terry looks at God’s answer to a world that is increasingly connected, yet increasingly lonely: genuine Christian community. The church is more than a place we attend. It is a spiritual family where we love, honor, serve, pray for, and care for one another.
In this sermon, you’ll discover:
• Why genuine love sometimes requires difficult conversations
• What it means to love fellow believers like family
• Why we should “outdo one another” in showing honor
• How to maintain spiritual passion while caring for others
• Why hospitality is an essential part of Christian community
• How the love of the church can reach a lonely world
Biblical community means loving people we may never have chosen for ourselves and recognizing the value God has placed in each person. It means opening our lives, and even our homes, to one another.
Jesus said the world would know we are His disciples by our love for one another. The early church didn’t simply proclaim the truth. It demonstrated that truth through extraordinary love.
