Our families are diverse. Some are big, some are small, some are riddled with hurt and secrecy and others are life-giving and whole. But no matter what your natural family makeup, the Church is designed to come alongside your family, and in many cases, become a new family. Just as we've been adopted by Jesus as sons and daughters, in the Church we are brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, cousins and nephews. Walking in the role God has placed you in His Church makes a profound impact on its vitality. Listen in as Pastor Ken wraps up this series by challenging us to embrace this reality.

This week Pastor Ken teaches from Colossians 3:20 and urges us to adopt a posture of obedience that honors the Lord. As members of God family and our natural families, our role is never to force our rights out of turn but to respect those God has tasked to parent us, no matter what stage of life we're in. As always, when we mess up, God's grace is profound and never leaves us without another chance.
