Families Matter Here

The Bible teaches that being a disciple of Jesus Christ makes all believers part of Abraham’s offspring, and therefore, part of the family of God. We are connected to one another not physically, but through God’s fulfilled promise to Abraham.

“And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother’” (Matthew 12:49-50).

Jesus conveyed a powerful teaching that His disciples are a family. The familial bond of believers goes beyond blood relation. Jesus taught that anyone who does the will of the Father is His family. The Apostle Paul continued teaching the same concept that Christians are all offspring of Abraham and part of God’s household.

“And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise” (Galatians 3:29).

The same is true for believers today. Christians are family through Jesus. God established believers to be connected in a powerful way as a family. To say that we are a church family implies the significant spiritual bond between believers, and the way we walk with one another through life, encouraging, supporting, and loving each other.

We are united in having children in the main worship service on the Lord’s Day. Our founder and beloved Apostle believed in inter-generational ministry and based this belief from the scripture that we are to train up a child in the way that they should go and when they are old, they will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6). Miracle Temple’s doctrinal philosophy is that families are the God-ordained building blocks of the church.
