The church as a family of God on the earth series challenges us to make a  shift from seeing the church as a mere institution to understanding it  as God's chosen vehicle to reveal Himself on the earth. This family,  just like any other biological family functions on timeless principles  of Father and Son. The father in this instance first referring to God,  from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name and  identity. Being in the form of Spirit, God connects with His sons on the  earth through His Spirit, which he elects to rest upon men and women  called to shepherd his people upon the earth. The family is also made up  of sons (not referring to gender), those who have been reconciled to  God the Father and now live to carry his purposes out on the earth as an  accurate reflection of Him.  
In previous sessions, we had explored the attributes of the Spirit of  the Father and how he fathers those who are called by His name, and in  this installment, we explore the principle of sonship, first by studying  the posture of Jesus Christ as a son of God, then by looking at the  principles embedded in the parable of the prodigal son, and how we can  make our election and calling as sons secure by living according to the  confines of the father's will and purpose for His sons.
