God purposely chose the natural family you were born into but He also wants you to be a part of a supernatural family – which is the Church! It’s our Faith in Jesus and the Holy Spirit in us that makes us a Spiritual Family! God created you in such a way that the power of the Holy Spirit comes alive, is fueled, is strengthened and is lived out through the Church Family!

John 1:10-13

10 He was in the world, and the world was created through him, and yet the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, he gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in his name, 13 who were born, not of natural descent, or of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God.

Galatians 3:27-29

27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Tune in for this week's podcast! What is the connection between worship & jealous? What about the difference between jealously and coveting? Listen to find out! 

The extension of knowing and loving God means your purpose must be to love and worship Him. When your worship, your affection and love is directed at something other than himself – He becomes jealous! When you become or became a Christian you entered in to a New Covenant, a committed relationship, with Christ!

God created everyone uniquely, yet we are all human. We have the purpose of serving Him, brining glory to Him, worshipping Him and honoring Him, but because we are different, it always looks different.

Tune in for this this week's podcast as we kick off the series The Purpose Driven Life.

If you are a Christian, a follower of Jesus, you have a promised blessing that is not conditioned upon your faithfulness but God’s! If you’ve confessed Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you can walk in assurance of God’s promised blessing of eternal life, even when you are rebellious and make sinful decisions.

Your calling will often connect to your purpose, but your purpose is not determined by or dependent on your calling. God’s Purpose for your life overrules any of man’s expectations and limitations but you have to discover and move into that purpose!
