UNDECIDED: Family Relationships 101
In this sermon, we explore the foundational aspects of community and purpose within the church, emphasizing that everyone wants to belong to someone, some people, and something. Drawing from 1 Corinthians, we learn that the church is a diverse community designed by God to connect us with Him and with each other. We are called to unite in the mission of making disciples, as outlined in the Great Commission, by helping one more person, especially the This Gen, find what truly matters in life. The message encourages us to actively participate in this cause, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose that reflects the love and sacrifice of Jesus.
