Listen "Family Expectations | Todd Arnett"
Episode Synopsis
In this powerful message, we're challenged to reconsider our relationship with the church. Are we merely attendees, or are we truly part of God's family? The early church, as described in Acts 2, sets a compelling example of devotion, fellowship, and shared purpose. We're reminded that belonging to a church family isn't about privileges, but about purpose. It's not just about being present, but about participating and partnering in God's mission. This message urges us to move beyond a 'hotel' mentality, where we simply receive, to embracing a 'home' mentality, where we contribute and engage. As we reflect on our own involvement, let's consider: Are we holding unswervingly to our shared hope? Are we spurring one another on towards love and good deeds? The invitation is clear - God hasn't called us to attend His family, but to belong to it. How might our lives and our community be transformed if we truly made ourselves at home in God's family?Chapter 1: The Importance of Being Present 0:00 - 20:39Chapter 2: Participation in Church Life 20:40 - 36:50Chapter 3: Partnership and Membership in the Church 36:51
