In this week’s message, Pastor Zak continued our new relationship series, with the purpose of helping us return to God’s values and design for families in an ever-changing culture. There’s a mentality pervasive in our culture today that says, “If we have enough money and a high enough social status, our kids will have everything they need.” So the family value system becomes: Money, Status, Family. This leads to all kinds of dysfunction. The truth is, if we have God, our children will have everything they need. The Biblical family value system we need to have is: God, family. This is how we build a family that will last. Let’s return to Biblical values in our families, and let the One who designed relationships define them!

Start Sharing
Choose a question to create openness.
• Pastor Zak said that people build their lives on foundations of sand (the world’s way) versus the rock (God’s way) because sand is comfortable, popular, and conformable. When you consider your own family, do you think its foundation is built on sand or on the rock? What changes do you need to make to build your family on the rock, or how will you continue to stand firm on the rock?
• How do you think your current behavior might affect generations to come? Is there anything that has been passed down to your family from previous generations that needs to be removed?
• As a group, discuss and write down what marriages and families look like when they’re built on God’s values. What do you need to do practically to implement those values in your family?

Start Praying
Be bold and pray with power.
• Father, thank You for giving us a solid foundation through Your Word and through relationship with Jesus. Help us to have a healthy, Biblical value system in our lives that places You, then our families, first. We surrender our lives to You, trust You, and commit to building our families on the values You have laid out for us. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen!

Group Leader Tips
• Be prepared to encourage your group by sharing how God’s values have shaped the foundation of your family. If there are areas in which you need to grow, be transparent and share with the group so they will feel comfortable opening up as well.
