Jesus defines His Family by Faith.
1. Jesus’ Family struggled with Faith
Will they follow the path of the religious leaders?
Will they stay outside like the crowd?
2. Jesus Redefined Family around Faith in Him
Being with Him
Doing God’s Will
Responding to Him in Faith
3. Jesus’ Family later came to have Faith
John 19:25; Acts 1:14; 1 Cor. 9:5
Don’t give up on your family; Faith takes time to grow
