For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;
rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.
And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ,
if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
message summary
Scripture: Romans 8:14-17
Context:
The scripture says all who believe in Christ are called the children of God. We learned that the Lord is the Head of the Church and we as the church belong to God. We need to remain in Him in order to grow. God is the vine we are the branches.
Today we look into scripture and explore why God has called us to become a family? Where did the origin of the nuclear family come from? How it is formed and the role it plays in our lives.
We see that God created people and God created family. This is crucial: he didn’t just create humans and set us free on earth as unattached, independent beings, but he also created a foundational human relationship that bound us together.
The basic relationship or social structure for humanity is family.
We focus more on the nuclear family and what issues we are facing at home.
We encourage all brothers and sisters here to keep your own house in order.
To try reconcile any differences together, to spend more time together and to learn to love one another more.
Food for Thought:
How can your nuclear family affect the way you view the church as a family?
Do you come to the church family feeling insecure, with trust issues, are you holding on to some hatred or bad experiences?
for this "image" of the church, we decided that reflection was the best way to move us from:
hearing the message
to
responding to the message
so, instead of spiritual practices
there are a few questions to help you engage with what God is showing us
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
