Does your family feel stretched, broken, or in need of renewal?

🔹Discover biblical wisdom to navigate conflict, strengthen marriages, and build lasting relationships.
🔹Expose the enemy’s tactics that seek to divide your home—and learn how to fight for your family, not with them.
🔹Find hope & healing even if you feel like giving up—there’s abundant grace for every season.

No family is perfect, but God’s plan is full of peace, joy, and restoration. Let’s take a step together toward a stronger home.
This message is dedicated to those of you whose desire is to strengthen your family: to build a strong marriage; to build strong relationship with your kids; to strengthen family ties.
2 Principles to Strengthen Your Family:
1. LEARN TO BE A HUSBANDMAN
LOVE YOUR WIFE WITH A PURPOSE- TO SEE YOUR BRIDE BECOME HOLY.
No one else, not a a single person, can shepherd your wife's soul besides YOU!
2. Choose to Cheat
IF THE DEVIL CAN’T DESTROY YOU, HE WILL DISTRACT YOU!
SMALL STEPS DETERMINE YOUR DESTINATION!
Jim Elliot
“He is no fool to give what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”
TALK IT OVER
Family Matters: Avoiding Common Pitfalls

1. Recognizing the Enemy’s Tactics
- John 10:10 warns us that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. What are some ways you have seen the enemy try to attack families today?

- In what areas do you see the enemy trying to create division or distraction in your own home? How can you fight back spiritually?

2. The Role of a Husbandman
- Ephesians 5:25-27 challenges husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the church. What does that kind of sacrificial love look like in everyday life?

- How can both husbands and wives encourage each other to grow spiritually and become more like Christ?

3. Choosing to Cheat (Time Priorities in Family Life)
- Psalm 1:1-2 talks about how small compromises lead us down the wrong path. In what areas do you see “small steps” pulling families away from each other and from God?

- We all “cheat” something with our time—work, hobbies, social media, etc. What are some ways we can be more intentional about prioritizing family?

4. The Danger of Overconfidence
- Proverbs 22:1 says a good name is more desirable than great riches. In regards to your family, what are some practical ways to create a good name and a lasting legacy?

- What practical steps can you take to ensure that your family remains a top priority amid life’s demands?

5. Rubber Balls vs. Glass Balls (What Matters Most?)
- Some priorities in life will bounce back if dropped, while others will shatter. What are the “glass balls” in your life that must be protected?

- How can you ensure that your time, energy, and heart are invested in what truly matters?

6. Leaving a Lasting Legacy
- Jim Elliot said, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” How does this apply to building a strong, godly family?

- What legacy do you hope to leave for your children or future generations? What steps can you take to start building that legacy today?
