FAMILY LIFE // WEEK 8 // TECHNOLOGY

7 days ago
Technology is a helpful tool, but it can also be harmful. Too many Christians ignore the relationship between technology and their spiritual development. It’s not enough to ask ourselves if we are using our devices to openly sin. In at least some ways, a technology-focused life is contradictory to what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. Technology can never be a substitute for the real world in real communities for which God created us.

FAMILY LIFE // WEEK 7 // OBEDIENCE
Sunday Jun 16, 2024
Sunday Jun 16, 2024
God’s Design is that we’d love Him with all of our heart, soul, and mind. One of the first steps to living in God’s Design is obedience. Obedience is difficult. Our natural instinct is to do what we feel and think is right. Each of us must submit ourselves to God’s authority and obey His commands. Jesus was obedient to His Father, even to the point of death. But His death took the punishment for our sins and can grant us forgiveness for our disobedience.

Christians are called to be servants first and second to serve. We are called to a life of servanthood that leads to loving acts of service for our Savior. Serving flows from the heart of a servant. Serving doesn’t make you a servant; but if you are a servant, you will serve.

FAMILY LIFE // WEEK 5 // RESPECT AUTHORITY
Sunday Jun 02, 2024
Sunday Jun 02, 2024
We can learn from David's example with King Saul that God wants us to respect authority even if they haven't earned it. Learning to respect authority starts in the home. However, respect for authority reaches all of us through managers, teachers, and government leaders. It's our sin nature to rebel against authority, but God's design is for us to respect those in authority over us.

FAMILY LIFE // WEEK 3 // SALVATION
Sunday May 19, 2024
Sunday May 19, 2024
As parents implement Deuteronomy 6:4-9, it's important for them to realize that a child's understanding of their need for salvation in Christ looks differently at various stages of development. Young children are being introduced to the concepts of sin through right and wrong. Older children are introduced to grace and forgiveness through their desire for fairness. No matter the stage of development and understanding, parents can still teach their children how to love the Lord their God with all their heart, and with all their soul, and with all their might.

Last week we looked at Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and how those verses apply to God’s design for the family. This week we'll practically apply these verses to teaching and showing others God's love and His design for our lives.

Sunday May 05, 2024
We're starting a new series about the family, and specifically, how God designed the family to work. If we’re submitting to God’s design, we have a chance to flourish as families. Godly, flourishing families go out and impact their communities and their world for God. How do they do it? It all boils down to loving God with all of our heart, soul, and might.

Sunday Apr 28, 2024
Sunday Apr 28, 2024
Have you ever wondered where Jesus is today? After His death, He was buried and then rose again. Today, Jesus is alive in heaven seated at the right hand of the throne of God where he serves as our mediator. Because Jesus is alive, when we can talk to Him, He hears us. Because He rules and reigns over everything, He can answer our prayers. Jesus is Lord. He is our living savior.

THE HOPE // WEEK 4 // HOLY SPIRIT
Sunday Apr 21, 2024
Sunday Apr 21, 2024
Throughout the Bible, God always wanted to be present with His people. In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit would come upon a specific individual to complete a task or a mission, but it wasn’t a continual indwelling. Today the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in order to make God real to us, make God come alive to us, and make God's mission personal to us.
