Family God's Way

May 31, 2026    Pastor Eric Boggs

This powerful message takes us back to the foundations of what God intended for family from the very beginning. Drawing from Psalm 127 and Genesis 1, we're reminded that unless the Lord builds our house, we labor in vain. The central truth here is profound: family isn't just a social construct or human invention—it's God's original design for bearing His full image on earth. When we look at the creation account, we see something remarkable: God created humanity male and female, and it takes both together to reflect the complete nature and character of God. This isn't about gender roles as much as it's about divine design. The masculine and feminine aspects of God's nature are revealed through the union of husband and wife, making marriage a living picture of Christ and His church. But this message goes deeper than just marriage—it's about recognizing that our homes are meant to be training grounds where children learn the ways of God, where we practice serving one another, and where kingdom culture is established. When righteousness prevails in our homes, it naturally flows into our communities, our churches, and our culture. The call here is to stop looking over our shoulders at past mistakes and broken relationships, and instead recognize that God is a God of restoration. Your family tree can start fresh today, producing fruit that will continue for generations.
