About this episode
Pastor Nate discusses the concept of the church as a family based on Ephesians 2:8-22.
In this week's message, Pastor Nate took us to the Book of Ephesians in a message titled "A Church Family" from Ephesians 2:8-22, with a special focus on verses 19-22. Many people view church as simply a place they attend, but God's Word reminds us that through Jesus, the church is so much more. Because of Christ, believers are not just attendees gathered in the same building each week—we are members of the family of God. Pastor Nate highlighted four truths about the church family: • Because of Jesus, we are more than attendees—we are the family of God (v. 19). • Because of Jesus, we have a secure foundation in the family of God (v. 20). • Because of Jesus, each believer has a purpose and function within the church family (v. 21). • Because of Jesus, we are being built together into a dwelling place for God (v. 22). The church is not simply an organization to join but a family to belong to. Through Christ, God has brought us together, given us a firm foundation, equipped us with purpose, and is continually shaping us into a people who display His presence to the world.
