Episode Synopsis

Debbie preaching on 1 John 3v1-18. Find the reading at: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%203%3A1-18&version=NIV.The church is not just a group we attend, but a family we belong to. We are called children of God, bound together by His love. Church isn't a membership club or a service provider designed to meet our preferences—it's a spiritual family where we love, serve, and grow together. Just as we don’t abandon our biological family over minor disagreements, we shouldn’t treat church like a supermarket, switching based on changing tastes, suboptimal “customer service,” or personal convenience. True belonging means commitment, sacrificial love, and unity through thick and thin. The church is where we learn to love as Christ loved—deeply, faithfully, and unconditionally.👋 Join us at 10.15am, every Sunday. 🌍 Stay Connected Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/standrews_hw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/standrewshw Website: https://www.standrewshw.co.uk/
