Summary

Julie and Matt talk about the last way God builds His family - by growing His children to become more like Jesus. Their friend Lehia, a plant expert, explained how the Holy Spirit grows the fruit of the Spirit in believers over time, just like different fruits grow in different seasons. They look at how God grew Abraham to be the "father of faith" and Rahab to be part of Jesus' family tree by the end of their lives, even though they didn't follow God at first. The main point is that once someone is called and adopted into God's family, God keeps growing them to act more like Christ through experiences and the Holy Spirit's work in their life. Helpful Definitions: THE CHURCH — All the people who know, love, trust, and obey Jesus all over the world! Scripture Reference: Galatians 5:22 5-Second Fly Through Review: Who is the family of God? (THE CHURCH IS GOD’S FAMILY!) Who is the head of the family of God?” Another way to say this is “Who is in charge of the family of God?” (GOD…HE IS THE PERFECT FATHER) What are the three steps God uses to build His family? (1. GOD CALLS, 2. GOD ADOPTS AND 3. GOD GROWS HIS FAMILY) What does God call sinners to do? (TO TURN FROM THEIR SIN AND FOLLOW HIM!) True or False? When God adopts someone into their forever family, He give them a new car?! (A NEW CAR? WHAT? NO! GOD GIVES HIS CHILDREN A NEW HEART THAT CAN LOVE, TRUST, AND OBEY HIM) Song: The Apostles’ Creed by The Village Kids Sponsors: Dwell Life is busy, and finding time to read the Bible can be hard.
