Where my bros at.

Who is your family?

** Garging, “one of us/try it on”, pterodactyl**

1. Family belong together

Things tie them together

What ties the family of God together?

God’s Family

*Read Passage*

English Standard Version Chapter 2

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

2. God’s Family: Whoever does the Father’s WILL

So what does that mean?

“The Will of God”

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

3. God’s Will: TURN and TRUST

In other words, TURN from the evil that separates you from God.

Flesh/Desire/Pride: Sin

Rom 3:23

Instead, TRUST in what Jesus did for you and live forever.

This separates us from the evil generation.

Instead, we are going to trust God.

God’s family isn’t afraid of anything.

*Read 43-45*

Evil vs Family

He says these people don’t believe!

That is why they are wicked, evil.

4. If they don’t BELIEVE they are not in the FAMILY

Do you believe in what he has done?

Died, came back to life, and paid for your sins.

God loves you so much that Jesus came and died to pay for your guilt.

- All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

- But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

So, Sin vs Love. What is the end result of each?

- For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life

Have you repented?

You are sorry for sinning against the King

You desire to turn away from that life

You come by faith, you must believe

From that comes a confession- you claim that God is your King now.

9 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation. ().

Family of God

The truth is so many people will spend their whole lives cleaning their house, but they will not have a family of to fill it with.

The Bible tells us that if we hear his voice we shouldn’t harden our hearts and ignore it.

CLOSE EYES// LOOK AT ME

Turn away from what you know is wrong and put your faith in Jesus

Look to God to show us who others are

Look to God to be who you are supposed to be

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
