Church

This sermon argues that the gospel calls believers to see themselves as a family united by Christ's grace, not as a collection of self-sufficient individuals. It emphasizes that this familial bond, based on God's unearned acceptance, frees believers to be vulnerable and to love one another genuinely, even to the point of confronting sin for the purpose of mutual sanctification.

Pastor Ryan's sermon explores the purpose and identity of the church. The main point is that a biblical church is not defined by cultural ideas of self-interest or consumerism but is instead a redeemed community called to live out the gospel by proclaiming it, spreading it, and committing to one another in local fellowship for the glory of Christ.
