Changing the World from Home Part 2

Dr. John MacArthur said, "The family was God’s first earthly institution. Before there was a government, and long before God instituted the church, He ordained marriage and the family as the basic building block of society. The destruction of the family we are witnessing today is, I believe, a harbinger of the ultimate collapse of…

God is in control

Join in this week as Dr. Henry Johnson shares with us from Psalm 97 and encourages us in this day when encouragement is hard to find. Dr. Johnson will point us to the sufficiency of God and His Word for the problems we face. Come be encouraged and find a new perspective to take into…

Changing the World From Home Part 1

I am excited about sharing from God's Word regarding how we can change the world from home (and I'm not talking about working from home!). In addition to singing and being blessed with some special music, I want to share with you from God's Word some critical teachings for children and parents. I also want…

Another outdoor service!

We are looking forward to another outdoor service this Sunday, August 30! We hope you will come join us. It is weather dependent; if there is a risk of rain we will move things indoors. Thankfully, at this point, the weather forecast is looking great for tomorrow! The service is Bring-Your-Own-Chair. We will have rows marked…

I Disagree!

One of the biggest problems I observe in the news today that drains the hope out of seeing meaningful, productive changes in public policy and opinion is that as a society we have become extremely polarized, and while we have much disagreement, we have little quality debate and only small amounts of polite, meaningful dialogue.…

Leading

This week we continue talking about the issue of leadership. This message together with last week’s is an addendum, not just to the Ephesians 5 passage about a husband's leadership, but to Ephesians 6:1-4 where it gives instruction to parents, especially fathers, to be leading their children. It is also a helpful appendix to Ephesians…

Becoming the Leader God Intended

What does it take to be a leader? More importantly, what does it take to be a good leader? Today we will explore that question as we continue our study of Ephesians 5. We saw last week that husbands have 2 main commands given by God in this passage. The first, which we studied last…

Becoming the Husband God Intended

For the last several weeks we have been looking at Ephesians 5 and talking about God's Design for the family. Lately the emphasis has been on the wife and God's instructions for her. Today, we look at God's expectations for the husband. What does it mean to be a good husband? What does it mean…

God’s Design for Family – Part 2

There are many, many, broken and failed marriages in our world today. So bad is the problem and so painful the fallout that many have taken the view that the whole idea of traditional marriage is faulty. Adding to this tragedy are the many husbands and wives who claim to be following God's plan for…

God’s Design for Family

In Paul's day, the institutions of marriage and family were in shambles. Faithfulness to a spouse was becoming a novelty. It didn't seem to matter if you were a Jew, Greek, or Roman, you had ways to jettison any marital commitment you may have made. Even the idea of what a family consisted of was…
