As we finish our series on Family, we study a passage that commands us to "keep loving one another earnestly"! This isn't a suggestion; it's a command to a new way of living with each other. As Christians, and the family of God, it's in our DNA to love one another. When we love, we live in our true destiny! Discussion Questions 1 Why is loving each other so important to God? Why is this, above all, the first trait of the family of God? 2 Does loving one another prove we are not of this world? Explain why. 3 What does “eschatology” mean? In what ways does loving each other prepare us for the end times/Jesus' return? 4 What are some different reasons that loving others points them to Jesus? 5 Will YOU commit to loving the family of God earnestly? (Hint: the answer should be “yes”)

As Christians, we need to fully understand the blessings and promises we inherit by being fellow heirs with each other AND with Christ! What are these blessings? How do we step into them? By believing what the Bible says about them! Discussion Questions 1. Have you ever viewed yourself as adopted? What positives/benefits that you can think of are involved with adoption? 2. "Fellow Heirs" inherently uses language that refers to family. What are some of the blessings we have access to now that we are heirs? Are any of these familial/communal? 3. What was the hostility that previously kept us from being sons of God and brothers with one another? What are some consequences of said hostility? (Jesus was so passionate about this, that He literally had to KILL it with its consequences!) 4. What things come to mind when thinking about the "full promise of Christ"? Do you live in it fully? Explain your answer.

We are the family of God! For this reason, how we treat each other is of the upmost importance. Listen as we study why family was important to Jesus, and why treating each other well is vital to Christian growth and maturity!

Listen as Pastors Nate and Christina Noe share on forgiveness as a sacrifice! Drawing from Scripture and biblical examples of forgiveness, they share the essence of the gospel that is founded on forgiveness.

It's of the upmost importance to not only know Christ, but also to be known by Him! We're diving deep into Matthew 7:21-29, and we're gonna see that the Lord's desire is for Him to know us. This message is foundational for all who long to follow Christ.

Have you ever heard the term "deconstruction"? Do you know what it is? Whether you've heard of it or not, we need to talk about it. Deconstruction has come into the church, the Bride of Christ. We need to have a faith that's able to engage in proper deconstruction. In order to do that, we've got to understand it a bit better. We pray this message helps you build upon your most holy faith!
