   Jun 8, 2019 · In most cases, the church won’t replace our family. Instead, we must let the gospel reorient our family relationships—and in turn, these new priorities will strengthen the church. As a teenager, I came into the family of God alone: I took myself to church while my family stayed home.

   Jul 10, 2020 · It is true that Jesus relativised the concept of family by establishing the spiritual family of God. Jesus invited everyone to be born again into the family of God, the Father (John 1:12-13). This involves pledging allegiance to Jesus, even at the expense of our biological relationships (Luke 14:26). Jesus predicted that his gospel would divide ...

   Jan 25, 2024 · We’re right to see the church in familial terms, because the New Testament is our source for such a vision. But there’s a flip side to the high regard we have for the church as family. An idealistic portrait of family can saddle us with overly ambitious, “enormous expectations” for church life. The appeal to family life can lead us to ...

   Jul 21, 2024 · So no, I will not stop referring to the church as a family. In fairness, the article makes a bit of a circuitous journey to the same basic conclusion. It says that we shouldn’t call the church a family, because that creates a sense of expectations for people coming in that the church is often unable to meet. It ends by saying we should try to ...

   Either way – your family of origin is fixed and cannot be changed. However, when you are born again through Jesus Christ you inherit a new family – the family of God. God’s church is supposed to be a group of people in relationship who do life together. Relationships are fundamental because the gospel gets lived out within those ...

   It’s not just in our family, it’s also in our spiritual life. So for sure there are bright lines that we need to be very careful of when it comes to idolizing family, but it’s really important not to pit the church and the family against each other or marriage and the church against each other. We’ve got to see these as complimentary ideas.

   Do churches need natural families?

   Why do we come to church with family members?

   • When we come to church with members of our family, those bonds come with us. The New Testament describes the church as the “household of God” (1 Timothy 3:15). That is, our spiritual relationships are modelled on biological ones.

   Should we see our church as our first family?

   • Some people argue we should see our church as our “first family.” Jesus certainly refocused membership in God’s family: Now anyone can join the family not by bloodline, but by faith in him ( John 1:12–13; Gal. 3:6–9 ). God’s family now grows primarily through the spread of the gospel, not the birth of children ( Matt. 28:19–20 ).
