The Gospel and Family
TV families are built on the grotesque idea of our own brokenness, no even pointing to the ideal. It's easy for parents to fall into the trap of the familiar, either by copying from, or by overcompensating for our own parents. We should look instead to the scripture for direction, not only to see the ideal, but to see family in light of the gospel

A Spirit-Filled Family
The purpose of this sermon is to teach children and parents principles of living in the Christian home. The Spirit must control us. Parents must be submissive to the needs of their children and children must be submissive to the authority of their parents.

Soul Prosperity
We need to live in God’s righteousness, peace and joy on the inside all the time, not just cry out to God for it when we are in a crisis. Our soul is prospering when we are walking in step with Holy Spirit.

Reclaiming the Vital Message of Moms & Dads
Since the early 1960’s, America’s counter-cultural movement has brought about many changes for which we can all be thankful. We can be thankful that we now live in a society that is more equitable for women and minorities. We can be thankful that as a country we are now more aware and active in environmental conservation. We can be thankful that through this movement, American’s live with greater global awareness on issues of compassion and justice. But, as in all movements, there’s been a price to pay for this change and no where is this price more evident than in our collective understanding in ‘parenting’. As research indicates that mothers and fathers feel more confused and unequipped than ever before, it’s our children and our country that are paying the price. Something must be done. We must rediscover and reclaim our message as mothers and fathers.

The heart of fathers and mothers
I'm sure we all love our children deeply. I love my children as my own soul, but I do not always parent them from my heart. I sometimes fail to exercise my own heart - exercise in the sense of a spiritual sweat and a pounding heart. I often fail to really engage their hearts. Parenting is all about seeking a meeting of hearts. We are aiming for parenting that is from heart to heart.

What Does Church Have To Do With Family?
If every believer is part of the household of God, how does the traditional nuclear family fit into the picture? Is it wrong or even self-centered to build and maintain close family relationships within the context of the church? We find an answer in Ephesians 5 and 6, where Paul addresses Godly family relationships in connection with God’s eternal purposes for the Church.

A Mother's Greatest Gift
The greatest gift a mother can give a child is dedication to the Lord God Almighty. In turn the greatest gift a child can give their parent is a life dedicated to serving the Lord.

A Help for Moms
It's not that moms need help - they deserve help and can be helped by the aid of their children. Ephesians 6:1 tells us to obey our parents. Obey means to listen attentively then conform to that instruction.They are also deserving of honor, which is commanded in Scripture. Moms are the glue in the family, the nurturers and encouragers. Obeying and honoring our mothers pleases the Lord.

Raising Little Ogres
Children bring major changes into a marriage. “Couple only” time must be protected, and mom and dad must commit to pull together instead of getting pulled apart. But the biggest change is moving into the role of parent. As parents, we must learn to read the wonderful, unique God story placed deep in the hearts of our children.
