Parent-Child Relationships
by Frank Pollard
In the last verse of II Samuel 18 we read the heartbroken cry of King David for his lost son. It happened a long time ago, yet these words are tragically up-to-date. They are the words of a careless parent: "O my son! My son, Absalom! Absalom,my son! If only I had died in your place, my son! Absalom, my son!" David had great family problems. Especially tragic…

by John Barnett
This evening we are taking a look at our owner's manual. You see we were bought with a price, we are no longer our own. The Owner of your life and my life has written out just what He expects from each of us. He also has included instructions that keep us running in tip top condition - FOREVER. Have you looked at your Bible that way this week? It is the exact…
The Functioning Family
by Nelson Price
Jesus Christ emphasized and elevated the institution of marriage by asserting it to be a permanent relationship. It is the basis for family living. In a day when family life is rapidly deteriorating somebody needs to speak a good word for the family. That's my intent. Dr. Ernest Gordon, Dean of Chapel at Princeton University ended one of his books with this…
God's Formula for the Family
by Jerry Vines
God has a very interesting kind of mathematics in this passage. The Lord says that in marriage one plus one equals one. He said you take a man and you take a woman and the two become one. There in that little formula which God has given is the formula for success in a marital relationship. Now if we are to build the...
The Essentials for a Happy Family Part 2
by Ernest Easley
We are nearing the end of our study of the book of 1st Thessalonians! Tonight we're in chapter 5 picking up where we left off last time together in verse 12 thinking about The Essentials for a Happy Family. Now keep in mind that the church is more like a family than it is a business. Now there is a business side to the church, but in function, it's more like…
The FUNctional Family (2 of 5)
by Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to Ephesians chapter 4. I want to talk today about "The FUNctional Family." Now the word dysfunctional is one that we hear a lot, dysfunctional is an adjective that means "not operating normally or properly." It means "deviating from the norm in a way that's regarded as bad." Dysfunctional is a term that's so often attached to family. We talk about the dysfunctional family. You don't hear much about the functional family...

There was a young couple who had just purchased brand new appliances for their house, and they decided to give their old refrigerator to their parents. Since they lived many miles apart, they just shipped the refrigerator to their parents. A few days later the phone rang, her mother said, "Honey, we want to send you a check for the refrigerator." The daughter…
Flexible Parenting (2 of 6)
by David Cawston
We all know that children are in trouble today! Our society is destroying their lives! In the 1950s kids lost their innocence. They were liberated from their parents by well-paying jobs, cars, and lyrics in music that gave rise to a new term ---the generation gap. In the 1960s, kids lost their authority. It was a decade of protest---church, state, and parents were all called into…

Father Knows Best - Parenting (5 of 6)
by Jim Henry
This year, six-million Americans are going to take part in the greatest event of their lives. I mean, perhaps the most life-changing event outside of conversion that ever happens to a person. Six million Americans! It will be more important than the way they vote. It will be more important than any art work they may create. It will be more important than any…
Surviving Parenting (3 of 4)
by Stan Coffey
Moses had instructions for God's people concerning their home and family.

Get an A+ in Parenting (3 of 4)
by Fred Lowery
We're talking about parenting, parenting on purpose. It is difficult to be a good person, could I get a witness. It is even more difficult to be a good husband or a good wife. I think it is most difficult being a good parent. It's one of life's toughest assignments. In fact parenting is so difficult that if you casual about it, you're not going to be...
The Challenge of Parenting (5 of 5)

Parenting By God (4 of 5)
by Kerry Shook
Somebody said, "If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, then children must be from another universe altogether." I know many parents who love their kids deeply feel that way about them at times, and many kids who love their parents deeply feel at times like their parents are from another planet. Children and...
The Gospel Centered Home: Parenting (16 of 21)
by Zach Terry
Today we will give you a lot of nuts and bolts, so I encourage you to write this down. Pen, pencil, lipstick or mascara. Spear these thoughts with the point of your pen. Someone said, the poorest ink is greater than the best memory. When the Gospel came to Ephesus a revolution came with it. It was said of the Apostles, "These men are...
In the Family
by David Cawston
God created certain institutions. The First one was the family. Yet Jesus taught that His coming would break up the traditional family. Matt 10:34-36 34 ''Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn '''a man against his father, a daughter against her...
Responsibilities in the Routines of Family - Part 3 (21 of 44)
by Patrick Edwards
We continue, this morning, to unpack Paul's admonition to ''look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.'' It's such a simple and ordinary command given to the Christian, take advantage of every opportunity and every sphere of life to speak light into the...

Priorities for the Family
by Zach Terry
The pastor was visiting the 4th grade Sunday School class to talk about marriage as part of the lesson. He asked the class, ''What does the Bible say about marriage?'' Immediately, one little boy replied, `Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.' - How true that so often is. God commanded our first parents to be...
