In this message series, “Growing as the Family of God,” we’re taking a journey that begins in Genesis and ends in Acts. We’ll encounter stories of people who encountered God: The God who drew them into a covenant promise, as part of a growing family of faith. Through Jesus, we see how that same covenant relationship expanded and extended the definition of what it means to be family at the table together.
- Observation. Read the passage of scripture and pay attention to words or phrases that seem important or raise questions for you.
- Meditation. Read the passage again. What personal praises of gratitude would you add to these words, based on your own life experience? What are the struggles you face that lead you to cry out for God's mercy and deliverance?
- Prayer. Ask the Lord to guide you in praying for yourself, your loved ones, and your enemies.
