Community: The Church Is Family

EPISODE TITLE: Community – Week 2: The Church Is Family

Speaker: Pastor Ty Crowder

Scripture: Ephesians 4:2–6 (NIV)

Series: Community – Living as the Family of God

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

Family is beautiful — but family can be messy. Even in the family of God, brokenness and division can creep in. In this powerful, Spirit-filled message, Pastor Ty Crowder unpacks Ephesians 4:2–6 to show that God’s Church was never meant to be fractured — it was meant to be family.

If we believe that God is real, we also must acknowledge that the enemy is real. And sometimes, comfort makes us blind to the battle. But this message calls the Church to wake up, rise up, and become a threat to the devil once again through unity, love, and purpose.

Pastor Ty breaks down four key choices every functional spiritual family must make:

1️⃣ Functional families choose health

2️⃣ Functional families choose boundaries

3️⃣ Functional families choose reconciliation

4️⃣ Functional families choose growth

When we forgive, love, honor, and encourage one another, we reflect the heart of Jesus and show the world what true family looks like.

Listen in as Pastor Ty leads us through a time of conviction, clarity, and commitment — calling believers to unity, healing, and Kingdom purpose.

KEY VERSE:

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

— Ephesians 4:2–3 (NIV)
