God calls us to love each other in the Church. He has given you grace, forgiveness and freedom from sin. He calls you to live in this freedom, not for yourself, but to love and serve the body of Christ. And today, Pastor Bill will remind you that the Church, the body of Christ, is bigger than your local congregation. The fruit of your salvation is the desire to know and be around God and fellow believers. Those who have the word of God and seek to obey it are all family. Your family in Christ spans the world and is united by Christ.
