What is the Church, and who is it really for?
In this message, Ps Ely unpacks what it means to belong to God’s family through the stories of Lydia, the slave girl, and the jailer in Acts 16. From a wealthy fashion mogul to a freed slave to a hardened soldier, the Gospel brings together people who could not be more different, and calls them one family.

Discover how faith isn’t meant to be lived alone, why “good intentions don’t replace God’s instructions,” and how belonging to God’s family means both access and mission.
