In this sermon, Pastor Evan discussed the significance of relationships within the context of God's family, contrasting the commonly held belief that blood ties are paramount, symbolized by the phrase "blood is thicker than water." Introducing an alternative perspective, stating that "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb," he emphasized that the relationship with God is the most important connection one can have. The sermon focusing on identifying who truly belongs to the family of God. Highlighting that Jesus redefines familial bonds, indicating that those who follow God's will are his true brothers and sisters, transcending biological connections. We examine two groups of outsiders: Jesus's earthly family, who accused him of being "out of his mind," and the religious elite, viewed as moral and good but not genuinely connected to Christ. He warns against the misconception that a family connection or mere moral living grants one an automatic place within the family of God. Pastor Evan underscores the necessity of following Jesus and being in the will of God, which involves loving God, loving people, serving others, and making disciples. This call to action aims to inspire individuals to pursue a deeper relationship with God and to be active participants in the church community, fostering genuine connections with one another as brothers and sisters in Christ.
