Church History

“Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones that accept you for who you

are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what.” -Unknown Author

“Family” can be one of the greatest blessings we are fortunate enough to enjoy in life. And the reality of life is such that sometimes family can really hurt us and it can be a far cry from what God originally intended family to be. Family isn’t required to stay in the form of biological structures that we were born into. Sometimes, and very often, we create a new family of individuals that shape us, influence us, protect us, inspire us and are blessings to us.

God always intended for us to be a family. When we look at the scriptures we see small tight knit communities

that were founded around the family. It started with Abraham and continues to this day with our Lubbock Seventh-day Adventist Church. However, along that journey many bad ideas and examples crept in that

destroyed the original model God developed. At its core the family was meant to be a tool of evangelism to share the promise of a Messiah.

Instead, what developed was an exclusive club founded around certain principles and behaviors that were much more important than Jesus. These things were valued so much more than God’s original plan that it led these indi-viduals to literally kill our Savior.

This week we will be looking at a story that chronicles a time when the Christian family expanded. As we

spend time studying Acts 10 & 11 we will find some important lessons that we can apply to our lives. There are lessons that can be learned regarding inclusion and there will be lessons to be learned about understanding one another. The greatest

lesson we should take from this story is that we are a family and we should have no

favoritism but love for one another.

May you believe that “Church” is meant to be family and not just a place of segregated inclusion. May we become a people of God who strive to be more than just blood con-nections, but people who love one another.

May the following statement be true of us: We are the Lubbock Seventh-day Adventist Church—

The Church that feels like Family! Peace & Grace, Pastor Geraldo
