Vision 2026: The Heart of Family (PM)
Pastor Sam Bricknell continues our mid-year Vision Series with a powerful message on the Heart of Family. This message traces how the New Testament reframes God's people from a single chosen nation into a united, multi-ethnic family, using the early church's wrestle over Jewish and Gentile believers and Paul's teaching in Ephesians as the central case study. It argues that unity in the church isn't about erasing disagreement or difference, but about prioritising relationship so that God's power, wisdom and love are revealed through a genuinely diverse family rather than through any one culture or generation alone. It closes by applying this to Riverlife's season of growth and multiplication, calling the church to increase its capacity for relationship and welcome as its diversity grows.
