Our heart for marriage and family
Notes on a sermon by Zach Gryder, Highridge Parker County.
- Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean you don’t give it 110%.
- At the end of the day we can desire something for our kids, but if they don’t, it won’t become a priority.
- Today we are talking about family and what God desires for our family.
- How bad do you want your children, your grandchildren, etc. to have health in the family.
- The problem with our society is the breakdown of the family.
Why should we fight for our family to be Godly?
- God ordains the family.
- Aka our family has been set it apart to serve Him
- Family, Church, Government is ordained
- By providing a space for a human being to feel love, support, and guidance
- Love isn’t just shown with actions, it’s said.
- Millennials are too soft because we don’t want our kids to hate us.
- God’s design isn’t just love and support, it’s guidelines.
- Our job as a parent is to prepare our children to survive in this crazy broken world or it’s going to eat them alive.
- Prepare them for life
- “Did you see that? We love them but we don’t act like that because we love Jesus.”
- Collisions 3:18-21
- 30 thousand foot view of Gods design for the family
- Any attack against our family is an attack against God
- Our family is under attack and has been since the beginning. Adam and Eve in the garden was an attack between the family and their creator.
