Part 8 | The Family Tree

<p>Pastor Caleb closes our discipleship series, <em><strong>Walking Home</strong></em><em>,</em> with a look at community. As we see the first church established in the book of Acts, we find in the Gospel&#39;s proclamation and its reception among an emerging community a truth that is easily obscured in our contemporary, individualist context: <em>You can&#39;t seek the face of God without finding the body of Christ</em>. Atonement and adoption are parts of God&#39;s same redemptive movement to us, which means the joyful life He has for us is one we can only receive as part of His new family.</p><p><br></p><p>⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%202%3A37-47&version=NRSVUE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Acts 2:37-47</strong></a>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (NRSV)⁠⁠⁠</p><p><br></p><p><em>If you would like to join us through this eight-week series as we work through a parallel discipleship course from our friends at Practicing the Way, please click </em><a href="https://the-garden-san-antonio-442289.churchcenter.com/people/forms/1253514">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<em><strong>this link</strong></em>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><em>, and we&#39;ll get back to you quickly with sign-up information and free resources.
