Our spiritual family is one of the greatest blessings we have as Christians. It strengthens us, encourages us, corrects us, and supports us when times get tough.
But we only get out of it what we put into it. If we join a church to see what they can give to us, we’ll only find bitterness. If we join a church asking how we can contribute, we’ll find blessings and more.
Which one describes me?
In this theme service, we looked at how Christians are first drawn from afar, how we’re united by faith, and that hope drives us forward.

CloseIn the 18th century, John Newton was another businessman involved in the slave trade. For forty years, he trafficked, sold, and stole other humans to make a profit. Then, he spent the last 20 years of his life passing legislation to outlaw slavery in England. He marked that transition by writing the hymn "Amazing Grace," which not only speaks to his enormous turnaround, but ours as well. When we identify the opportunity for redemption and hope that is staring us right in the face -- and act on it -- grace is no less amazing for us.
