In this new series on family, we wrestle with the contrast between our idealized notions of family and the complex realities of family. We are encouraged to be authentic about our struggles and victories AND find grace in the tension between the two.  What if the church was the safest place to be real AND was the safest place to discover the ideal?Scripture:Galatians 5:22-23But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.MUSIC:Praise You Anywhere - Brandon LakeGraves Into Gardens - Elevation WorshipAdoption Song - Brandon LakeWhether you're joining us in person or online and whether you are a long-time attender, new here, just visiting, or simply curious about faith - we want you to know you are welcome here and we are for you!Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments!NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next.https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnextNot sure where to start?
