October 25, 2025 - Saturday AM Bible Class

 

Family Retreat Lesson 2

  The Church is your spiritual family

• Household
• Ephesians 2:19-22
• 1 Timothy 3:14-15
• Galatians 6:10
• Family of God
• Loving one another in the church glorifies God

  Your spiritual family has been called by God to: Rejoice with those who rejoice

• Romans 12:15
• Sports, weddings, babies,
• Genuine joy
• Baptisms

Weep with those who weep

• Romans 12:15
• Illnesses, hospital, tragedies, deaths
• Have to show up
• May not have the words
  • Be careful what you say
  • Some words don't comfort
  • Sometimes silence is best
  • Cards
    • "Tell us your stories about them"
    • Those stories are part of the grieving process

Bear one another's burdens

• Galatians 6:2
• 2 Samuel 10:11
  • Come to each other's rescue
• We don't know the private battles of others
  • What if all sins had an odor
• Some churches have AA meetings
• When the enemy (Satan) is winning we need to come fight with the person struggling
