Conversation with Max

We all Belong

1 Peter 2:9-11 New Living Translation (NLT)

“One Body with Many Parts”

The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:12 (NLT)

The church is designed to be the body of Christ, of which He is the head.

The organism of the church

• The Body – 1 Peter 2:9-11, 1 Corinthians 12:12

• The Culture – Acts 2:42-47, James 5:19-20

• The Impact – 2 Corinthians 5:20 (NLT), Acts 8:35-40 (NLT), Acts 16:1-5

We belong to a huge, beautiful and diverse family. All are welcome, we are part of this amazing family through Jesus. We are adopted as sons and daughters of God, because of the grace we receive through Jesus. We cannot earn it or ever be worthy apart from Jesus. We are a family and we belong in Jesus!

Grace brings us in and grace keeps us together, like sticky glue.

Sticky Grace, nothing can separate us from God’s love!

In the same way sticky grace should keep us united so nothing can separate us from each other in the family of God!
