Welcome to Hope City Church! NEW If you are new to Hope City text “HCNEW” to 33777 SERMON GUIDE “In the Family” Big Idea: Faith in Jesus gives you a new life, but it also gives you a new family. Galatians 4:4-7 'But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.' The Cycle of Relationship: Easy / Exciting Challenging / Frustrating Rewarding / Fulfilling Those closest to us can hurt the most, but they help us to heal the most too. Discussion Questions: How did you celebrate Derby with your family and friends? Share with the group time when you decided not to bail on a relationship and it became rewarding and fruitful. How does it make you feel that God doesn't just make you a new person, but gives you a new family? What stage of the Cycle of Relationship are you in with your church family? CONNECT Connect with us!
