Sermon Summary
Our Values: Belonging
· Every person and every church has values
· It’s important to identify our values because they unify us and motivate us
· Our core values are Belonging, Equipping, Serving, Spirit-living, and Missional Living.
· Belonging means nurturing a family environment
· The early church had a strong value of belonging (Acts 2:42-47)
-
- They functioned like a family
- They had mutual love & care for each other
- This was a factor of their health & growth
- There was conflict and reconciliation (Acts 6 & 15)
· Like the early church, we need to seek reconciliation
· We can do this because it’s already been done for us through Jesus (Gal 3:26-4:7)
-
- We are brothers & sisters through faith in Christ
- We will be family for eternity
