In today’s message, Pastor Bill Francavilla unpacks an essential biblical truth:
You need the global Church… and you need your local church family.
Drawing from Romans 12, Ephesians 4, John 10, Luke 9, and the stories of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, this sermon explores:
• The difference between the global family of God and your local church family
• Why both matter deeply for your spiritual growth
• How God uses real relationships, real people, and real community to shape our lives
• How unity, humility, and covenant commitment strengthen the body of Christ
• What happens when we stop being “attenders” and become true family
You’ll hear stories about God’s people showing up in the Badlands, in airports, across continents — and right here in our own church. Because the local church isn’t just a place you go… it’s a family you belong to.
Key Scripture:
Romans 12:15–16
“Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep… Live in harmony with one another.”
