Everyone has a unique identity shaped by values, traditions, culture, and more... It's a part of our upbringing. In this message, we'll unravel how God's divine inheritance for us affects our heritage.

February 5, 2023 • Léon van Weerden • Deuteronomy 30:15–20, Genesis 1:28, Deuteronomy 28:1–13, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Genesis 3:1–6
Blessing... A prayer before eating? A priest stretching out his hands? Happiness? Favour? God wants to bless us. It is crucial to have a right understanding of what that looks like.
The Family Kingdom
January 29, 2023 • Léon van Weerden • Matthew 16:18–19, John 18:36, Ephesians 2:19, Matthew 4:23, Philippians 3:20
We have discovered the Family Tree of Life and enjoyed the Family Recipe of Belonging. Next is the Family Kingdom. In God's eyes, family and kingdom are connected as it combines relationship and rulership. It is the best way towards transforming people and impacting society.
The Family Recipe
January 22, 2023 • Petra van Weerden • Isaiah 44:5, 1 Corinthians 3:23, Romans 12:5, Psalm 56:8, Hebrews 4:15–16
Do you like baking? I only like to try simple recipes; they have a higher chance of success. Baking is precision work. A little too much or too little of one ingredient can influence the result. Family is like baking; it consists of ingredients that all need to be present with the right amount to create a beautiful outcome. God is the master baker! He wants to help us get our family recipe just right so our relationships can be healthy and thriving.

The Family Tree of Life Part 1
January 8, 2023 • Léon van Weerden • Ephesians 3:14–19, Genesis 1:1, Genesis 2:8–17
A new year, a new theme—moving #together as a #family. We heard that many of you actually had guessing competitions for the word of the year, and some guessed right! In this message, we'll discuss the Family Tree of Life. God has intentional reasons for wanting you to eat from the Tree of Life, while refraining from the Tree of Good and Evil. It is a matter of Life and Death. It is a matter of family.
