Family

One of the New Testament pictures of the church is a family of believers. Family expresses the idea of the close and intimate relationship we have with one another in the Lord Jesus. It speaks of love, care, and involvement in one another's life. It means being there for fellow family members in times of need. It means weeping with those who weep and laughing with those who laugh. It means correcting at times, forgiving quickly, and being accepting of one another all the time. Family is not just a metaphor of what we ought to be, it is a discription of what God calls us to be. One of the things I am so thankful about FSBC Palm Springs is that you are a family.
