The Family of God: Brothers and Sisters in Christ

The church is a family. It is about belonging which goes beyond attendance—it's about unity in Christ as brothers and sisters with unique roles. Paul's message to the divided Roman church emphasizes humility and unity for Gospel advancement. Kris Hutchinson applies this to modern struggles with feeling like an outsider, lacking purpose, or church hurt, reminding listeners they are valued, gifted, and called to real relationships. He encourages embracing belonging and contributing, emphasizing that church is a place where we are known, loved, and empowered to share Jesus.
