This is us church series

Jesus holds individual congregations responsible for the character they develop. He treats each congregation as though each was a distinct person.

The church at Ephesus had lost their first love.

Pastor Josh starts a brand-new series titled This Is Us - Creating A Family Designed By God. This series is essential not just for parents but contains.

Jesus is not saying every individual had lost their first love. He is warning the church as a whole, because, as a group, they had backslidden. It seems we also must give an account of our corporate character as a church body.

In modern Western culture, when we think of two or more people having a relationship, we think of the relationship taking place between people.

The relationship is secondary to the individuals. However in the biblical worldview, important relationships, which are referred to as covenantal, envelop the people and create a new reality, a new “us.”

This is illustrated by the covenant of marriage where the two become “one flesh.” Sex is a sign of the covenant, as the “one flesh” reality encompasses everything.

The couple must stop thinking only as “I” and start thinking as “we” because their identities and destinies are now intertwined.
