BIG IDEA: We have much to relearn after being born again.
If you don’t know, early churches functioned like families, often meeting in large homes.
Christians can be misunderstood and persecuted for this level of commitment to Christ’s commands.
Just remember…your biggest critics today, could become your brothers and sisters in Christ tomorrow!
How we were raised won’t always align with our new life in Christ, and our bio-families may not like us breaking tradition. They may get jealous of our time spent with the church, question the kind of people we forgive and help, expect us to hate who they hate, or maybe doubt our ability to help other families since they “know who we really are!”.
Here’s the thing: Our Heavenly Father redeems and even re-parents us in Christ so that our past no longer defines us nor disqualify us from future impact.
