MC — Family

We’re starting a 3-week series looking at the identities and rhythms that we live out as disciples of Christ together in the everyday stuff of life. We do this primarily through what we call Missional Communities.

A Missional Community is more than a small group (but not less than one). They aim to be a family of servant missionaries sent by God as disciples who make disciples. Our Missional Communities gather weekly to apply the sermons and seek to live life in Biblical community that challenges and encourages each person to grow in following Jesus. These groups are about more than existing primarily for ourselves and instead seek to engage those who are far from Christ as part of our mission.

Josh Jones started us off by looking at the identity and rhythm of being family. He gave us a great survey of Biblical texts, but John 13:34-35 really hits it home:

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

Give the sermon text a read and a listen and we hope to see you this week at a Family Meal and/or a DNA group to dive even deeper.
