Here are some of the sermons you will find on Family Sermons:
Sermon: The Joy of Parents
There is great joy for parents when their children are Christians and are living for Jesus.
Children may act a certain way around their parents and a different way
when they are not around them.
But when they are walk in the truth even when their parents are not around
brings great joy to parents.
Parents, how we can help our children to live this way? ...Read More
Sermon: Building A Home
Anyone can build a house, and anyone can fill that house with beautiful things,
but the Bible describes something far more important, far more valuable than any house.
God's word tells us how to build a home.
What kind of society have we developed for our children and grandchildren?
We have been on a downward spiral for years.
And recent events in our schools and in our society have caused us to question
our communities and our homes.
For instance: "How well do you know your child?"
How are you building your home?
God's Word teaches us how to build in Proverbs 24:1-4. ...Read More
Sermon: Christ Will Help The Home
I have the best news for husbands and wives and for moms and dads.
I have the best news for every boy and girl here.
I know Someone who can help you.
I know Someone who can help your family.
His name is Jesus!
How does Christ help the home?
What does Christianity have to contribute to the modern-day family in the space age?
What difference can Jesus make to your family life?
I could never touch the depths to what Christ can do, but I will express a thought or two. ...Read More
Sermon: Families Of Faith
Life is not fair!
Life is unpredictable just when everything seems to be going great -- wham!
Life can be cruel.
What will you do when you come to a mountain that you can't climb
and certainly can't move.
What will you do?
Who are you going to trust?
Trust in God.
God moves mountain!
God will enable you to climb that mountain!
God has promised us that if we have faith, we can move mountains.
Trust God for what you need. ...Read More
Sermon: Getting Along With Parents
Regardless of how you would rate your parents on a scale from one to ten,
your parents play a very important role in the way you view yourself.
Parenting is not easy.
Parenting is scary and difficult.
But if you would like to get along better with your parents, let me share a few ideas
why I think parents act the way they do.
Nobody sent your parents to school to study parenting.
You are probably their first family.
Sure, they were raised in a family, but there is a major difference between
being a kid in a family and being a dad or mom.
It took me over 23 years to prepare for the ministry.
I did not have one single class on parenting.
Most of us, as parents, learn by trial and error.
The first child comes along and we are very conscientious.
We have learned a lot.
Then, the second one comes along, and the second one has the gall to be different.
Every parent is in the process of being a parent. ...Read More
Sermon: Is It Well With Thee?
"How are you doing as a partner?"
The Bible is very clear: If your Christianity doesn't work at home, it doesn't work.
Your success or failure as a partner depends on whether or not you are fulfilling
the biblical requirements for the husband.
Pastors, we are to be leaders and we are to be lovers in the home.
Ephesians 5 is very clear.
Paul says, "Be filled with the Holy Spirit."
Then he gives us the marks of the spirit-filled life:
Speaking, singing, thanking, submitting.
Then he begins to talk about the home.
How can you tell if you are Spirit-filled? ...Read More
Sermon: Keeper of the Springs
Be a faithful keeper of the springs in your family,
Reach out to support single-parent families in your church and community.
Carry out James' admonition to "Be doers of the word and not merely hearers
who deceive themselves.
Because religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the father, is this: to care
for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."
(James 1:22, 27)
We are all called to be "Keepers of the Springs" so the waters that flow from our lives
will refresh the stagnant waters of our culture and give fresh life to the lives planted
along its banks. ... Read More
Sermon: Don't Blame Your Parents
The word of the Lord came to me again: 'What do you mean by repeating this proverb...
the fathers have eaten sour grapes, and children's teeth are set on edge' ?
As I live, says the Lord God, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel."
(Ezekiel 18: 1-4)
Ezekiel is saying to his generation and to ours, the present is your responsibility.
He could see that his generation's fixation on the past and its sins drew
their attention away from the present and its opportunities.
His generation figured they were stuck with the way things were in their lives
because it was a punishment for the way their fathers had lived.
Because their fathers had eaten sour grapes, and their teeth were set on edge.
Ezekiel will have none of this.
The past shapes the present, but it does not determine the present.
The past presents the agenda for the present, but it doesn't decide what is
going to happen to it.
You're not responsible for the way things are in this world.
You are responsible for what you do with the way things are.
If you are not happy, it's not because of the life that has been given to you.
It's because of what you've done with the life that has been given to you.
That is what Ezekiel is saying.
The important question is: What are you going to do now with the present
that is given you? ...Read More
