| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from the Our Daily Bread Devotional. |
| 0:10.0 | Our reading, titled Part of the Family, was written by Lisa M. Samra. |
| 0:16.0 | Downtown Abbey was a popular British television drama that followed the fictional Crawley family |
| 0:22.3 | as they navigated a changing social structure in early 1900s, England. |
| 0:28.7 | One of the key characters, Tom Branson, initially worked as the family's chauffeur |
| 0:34.1 | before shocking everyone by marrying the youngest crawley daughter. Following a period of |
| 0:40.6 | exile, the young couple returned to downtown Abbey and Tom became part of the family, gaining access |

| 0:57.6 | the rights given to those who were a part of God's family. But because of Jesus, all believers, |

| 1:52.9 | free and generous gifts of love and bask in the wonder of being his. |
| 2:08.3 | Today's our daily bread devotional scripture reading is from Ephesians chapter 2 verses 19 through 22. |
| 2:12.0 | Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people, and also members of his household, |
| 2:22.7 | built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. |
| 2:31.5 | In him, the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. |
| 2:38.5 | And in him, you too are being built together, to become a dwelling in which God lives by his spirit. |
