God’s people are called by God, ‘Family’.
God’s family are those who do his will.
God’s will is that we would love and serve him.
We love and serve God by engaging in his mission.
We engage in His mission by promoting the Gospel in word and deed.
And we do that by sharing the Good News that Jesus is Lord and Saviour.
And we do that most effectively and more urgently when we do it as ‘Family’.
Family (Church) – it’s who we are.
Family (Church) – it’s what we do.
Family (Church) – it’s not where we go.
Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.
— Mark 3:35
