When considering different images or analogies of the church, none is more common than that of a family. It is so common, in fact, that it may be inappropriate to think of it as an analogy at all; it seems to be simply the default way that the writers of the New Testament thought about … Continue reading The Family of God

This week our guest speaker, Quebec Youth President Lou-Micha Castillo brings fourth a powerful message entitled " The Family Of God".
In this sermon, pastor Chad Hendley explains how the Church is the true family of God. A church "family" is not just a nice platitude, it is theological reality. We are brothers and sisters in the eternal family of God. What does this mean for how we live out our faith together?

In Week 4 of our Church Unbranded series, Lead Pastor Jason Britt delivers a special Mother's Day message focusing on one of the most powerful identities we possess: being part of the Family of God. While "family" can be a complicated word for many, the gospel offers a new lineage that isn't based on genetics or willpower, but on the grace of Jesus Christ. To follow Christ is to move from being a stranger to being a child with full legal standing, an inheritance, and a massive group of brothers and sisters.
In Part 8, The Family of God, Pastor Steve explores the biblical call to “brotherly kindness,” the kind of love the ... Read More
Happy Mother's Day! Today, we are continuing our series, Church Unbranded, where we explore the powerful metaphors Scripture uses to describe the Big "C" Church. After celebrating 404 baptisms last week, we are lifting our eyes to see the incredible scale of what God is doing across His entire Kingdom. In this message, we unpack what it truly means to be part of the Family of God. Whether your experience with "family" has been one of joy or brokenness, Jesus offers a redeemed picture of what it looks like to be a son or daughter of the King. Join us as we foundationalize our lives on three key pillars of a healthy spiritual family: Roles: Understanding who is who—God as our Father and us as His adopted children. Rights: Recognizing the incredible inheritance, identity, and love we receive from our Father. Responsibilities: Learning what we contribute to the family through a culture of sacrifice and serving others. You are not a servant in the Kingdom; you are an heir. You aren't alone anymore—welcome to the family. Scripture References: Romans 8:14-17 Galatians 3 1 Corinthians 6:18 Hebrews 2:11 John 1:12-13 John 3:1

What Does It Mean to Pass Your Faith On to the Next Generation? Pastor Julie Hamilton opens the Legacy Series with a question that's both personal and urgent: Are we just living in the present — enjoying what God is doing right now — or are we intentionally preparing for what comes next? Using Psalm 78:1–7, she frames the church as an extended family, walks through the different roles that make a healthy family function, and introduces the concept of the maintainer — someone who invests in the health, stability, and future of the family by preserving its values and preparing others to carry them forward. The challenge isn't for a specific age group. A 28-year-old can spiritually grandparent a 6-year-old. A 16-year-old can mentor a 45-year-old new believer. In the family of God, roles are determined by stage, not age. She closes with a personal story — a job description she wrote as a new mom over twenty years ago, and the very different one she wrote recently — and a direct challenge for every listener: write your job description in the family of God. Not a title. Your function. Your contribution. Because faith was never meant to stop with you. This is Week 1 of the Legacy Series at New Hope Church.

In Episode 130 of this contemplative Christian podcast, we meditate on Mark 3:31–35 and Jesus' surprising question: “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
Scripture teaches mothers to point children toward Christ by praying for them, modeling faith and character, and training them in wisdom. (Prov. 1:8, 29:15) One way of doing this is regular attendance at church where our children and youth leaders partner with parents in the discipleship of the younger generation. So bring the whole family for worship and community onsite or online at Calvary this Sunday as we celebrate Mother's Day!
By Chuck Smith - Are you ready to be a member in the God family? Today, we look at some of the core values of the family unit.
This sermon explores Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18:15-20 on handling conflict and pursuing restoration within the body of Christ. Rather than focusing on winning arguments or proving ourselves right, Jesus calls believers to pursue reconciliation with the goal of "winning back" brothers and sisters who have sinned or caused offense. The message emphasizes that Satan seeks to divide families and churches to render believers ineffective for God's kingdom, while God's heart is always oriented toward restoration.
Join us this week as Mike unpacks Romans 12:14-21, calling us to bless those who persecute us, rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep, and overcome evil with good rather than repay evil for evil. In view of God's mercies, we are urged to stop conforming to the patterns of this age—pride […]

Join us this week as Pastor Mike explores Romans 12:9-13, calling us to live out genuine, transformative love in response to God's mercies. Transformed minds create transformed communities marked by authentic agape love—self-sacrificial commitment to others' good with no ulterior motives or masks—abhorring evil while holding fast to good, regarding one another as family with […]
Rom. 8:16, Tim Arthur
One of the clearest signs of a healthy family is that they love one another. In a loving family, people do not live only for themselves. They share. They support. They give. They care and help carry one another's burdens. The same is true in the family of God. When God saves us, He does not just forgive us and leave us alone. He places us into His family—the church. And in God's family, we are called to be people who give. We live in a world that teaches, “Hold on to what is yours. Protect yourself. Put yourself first.” But the kingdom of God teaches something very different. In God's kingdom, love looks like generosity. Faith looks like giving. Maturity looks like surrender. A church is never stronger than when it learns how to love through giving.
Matthew12:46-50 46 While [Jesus] was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him 48 But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” Ephesians 3:14-19 14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

There's a brand new public health crisis physicians have identified in the last few years. They're calling it the loneliness epidemic and it affects more than half of us, especially in younger generations. Fortunately, Jesus gave us the cure to this ailment when he invited us into the community of the Trinity, and gave us the church as its physical embodiment.
The gospel saves us into a new family called the church, where we learn how to intentionally relate to one another and wisely care for one another, in order to strengthen the church and advance the gospel. From 1 Tim. 5:1-16.
Kirk Cameron steps into the Blurry Creatures 80s basement for a conversation that covers as much ground as his career has decades. Fresh off the viral firestorm of what he's calling "Hellgate," a father and son discussion on his show that turned into a two and a half hour scholarly roundtable on the nature of hell, Kirk walks us through the debate between eternal conscious torment and conditional immortality, why he thinks the church needs to stop shutting down hard questions, and how Augustine's Greek philosophy may have shaped what most Christians assume the Bible says about the afterlife. He also opens up about his journey from teenage atheist to believer at 17, right in the middle of filming one of the most iconic family sitcoms of all time.But this isn't just a theology episode. It's a ride through the 80s, Growing Pains behind-the-scenes stories, meeting William Shatner (the man he was literally named after), competing with Michael J. Fox through a cameraman, and the Ambisol-fueled first kiss with the woman who became his wife of 35 years. Kirk also shares a wild supernatural story from his son James on the Crow reservation in Montana, his niece's stunning connection to a twin lost in miscarriage, and why he believes the biggest problem in the church isn't bad theology. It's that people don't believe God actually loves them. From spiritual warfare to Richard Stabone, this one has it all.
