One of the Family

Published on April 14, 2012 by Doug Swagerty

Dear Church Family,

I begin every email to you that way…“Dear church family…” It’s the best way I know to describe the best thing about the church: we’re brothers and sisters in Christ. But it doesn’t stop there. NCPC is not only a family…it’s part of a much larger family that is global and timeless. Through Christ, we’re all tied together.

Tomorrow morning we’re going to be looking at Galatians 3:26-4:7, and one of the great things about this passage is that it speaks of the work of each person in the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—telling us how each One works together to give us full benefits in God’s family. It’s one of those remarkable passages that we can’t come close to comprehending! But my hope tomorrow is that we will be drawn by the reality of our place in God’s family to a closer experience of that reality.

I certainly need it, and I would guess that most of you long for it as well.

So come expectantly and pray for God’s Spirit to work in each of our hearts, beginning with your own (and please pray for mine as well!).

Blessings,
Doug
