Today we continue our teaching series called "Family Values" where we are taking a deep dive into strengthening our family relationships.

Family is so important. Though often challenging, family can be some of our deepest and closest relationships- and those matter!

We believe your family matters, and perhaps most importantly, your family matters to God.

Family Values is about walking out faithfulness to God within our families. Over the next few weeks we will consider what it takes to build strong family relationships.

Whether you are a son or daughter, husband or wife, brother or sister, aunt or uncle, your family relationships matter to God.

Throughout this series, we are clinging to two truths that we believe can change everything for our family relationships.

There is hope and there is help.

Today as we continue in Part 2 of our series, we are looking at the truth- literally. Today is about the importance of God’s word for our families.

IS YOUR HOME BEING BUILT ON A SOLID FOUNDATION?

There are three commands here in quick succession:
1.Love God with everything you are
2.Keep the commandments on your hearts
3.Teach them to your children.

What actions are you taking right now to make God's Word (His truth) a foundation of your family?

In our families we are called to:
-LOVE GOD'S WORD
-LEARN GOD'S WORD
-LIVE GOD'S WORD

“You can never have a Christlike mind without reading and listening to the Scriptures, the Bible, regularly - because you cannot be profoundly influenced by that which you do not know!”

Look for opportunities to engage your family
This looks different according to your context

- Reading the word together
- Reflecting on the word together
- Encouraging each other with the word
- Using God's Word as the lens when you're processing what's happening in your life
