Sermon Notes

Identify Your Family:

  1. Broken family
  2. Divided family
  3. Worldly family
  4. Religious family
  5. Healthy family
    If our family is the same damaged, divided, and disconnected family
    we had before this started, then we’ve lost the lesson.

A Renovation of Family:

  1. Put God first.
    Mark 12:29-30 NLT
    Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O
    Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love
    the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and
    all your strength.’”
    We love others best when we love God most.
    The way I put Jesus first is not “Jesus THEN my family” but “Jesus IN
    my family.”
    Deuteronomy 6:4-7 NIV
    Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your
    God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
    strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on
    your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when
    you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie
    down and when you get up.
    The most important thing you could ever do for your family is help
    them see that God is the most important thing.

    • 1 in 1,153 marriages end in divorce if the couple are Christians
    and pray together daily.
  2. Put family second.
    Your family should never have the question of whether or not you
    love your job more than them.

    do.” — Andy Stanley
  3. Make changes today.
    James 1:22 NIV
    Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what
    it says.
