Episode Synopsis

Send us a textHello! And welcome back, after we took a short break from podcasts. What a fun day today, to take a close look at out church family, who we are to God and who we are to each other! We have a lot in common with our brothers and sisters. Mainly, we are all sinners, saved by God's grace! Jesus pursued us with an immeasurable love, stopping at nothing to show us his love and to save us. Let us work daily to show such love to others in our lives, and our church family! 10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.  12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
