Christian Thought and Integrating the Church Family
Do you feel like the local church is your family? Do you feel like you belong relationally with the people of your church?
For many years the biological/nuclear family has taken centre stage for people's sense of belonging. Which is why these words that Jesus tells his disciples feel so out of place to us:
"Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields - along with persecutions - and in the age to come eternal life." ~ Mark 10:29-30 (NIV)
Christian Thought and Integrating the Church Family is an event designed to help us think through the countercultural message of the Bible that the local church should operate as a family. Whether we are married or single we are called to come together and form a family.
