This week, Paul taught about 3 more expectations that all families - including God's family - have of their members, and if you've ever found yourself stuck on the Nantahala River in a hydraulic with a bunch of girls and only one paddle, you'll appreciate this message. If you haven't, it'll still be worth the time.

As any parent knows who has worked hard in the yard only to walk in and see their grown children playing video games, being in a family means being expected to do certian things, and this week Paul explains how expectations - instead of adding pressure - actually give us purpose, and the wonderful thing about being in God's family is that we have a Dad who sees and expects greatness in us.

If being accepted gives us a place, then being connected gives us the power, and in Part 2 of the "We are Family" series, Paul explains that in God's family, we're connected to the power of God and the people of God, and then talks about what to do if we sense the connection isn't working. The answer is surprisingly simple, and found in the character of Clark Griswold.

Have you ever noticed how families can be both awesome and awkward? How the word family can bring out good feelings for some and painful feelings for others? In part 1 of our "We are Family" series, Paul shows how God intended for family to be easy, but our sin complicated it and made it hard. But, at the end of the day, when we do family the way God designed it, being part of a family means that we're accepted, and that's something everyone is looking for.
