Summary
In essence, believers are a part of two families. We’re a part of our earthly families, and we’re part of the family of God. There are privileges and responsibilities that go with both.
Pastor Greg Laurie points out how it’s sometimes difficult to share about our faith with our earthly family. Sometimes, one family doesn’t want to hear about the other one. Listen in for good insight on what God expects of us within those most important earthly relationships.
The Harvest Crusade is coming to Angel Stadium on July 11! Stay updated on all important event details.
