Family Matters: The Children

May 26, 2024 • Tim Wilmetti • Ephesians 6:1–3

In a Christian home, children are called to honor their parents. This means submitting to and obeying them. It also means caring for them when they become elderly. For most of us, honoring our parents will help us thrive more in life.

Family Matters: The Father

May 19, 2024 • Josh Rollins • Ephesians 6:4

The role of fathers in the family cannot be understated. Scripture has a clear plan for how God designed fathers to lead their children.

Family Matters: The Mother

May 12, 2024 • Tim Wilmetti • Genesis 1:26–28

Mothers play a unique role in the lives of their children. Only mothers can bear and give birth to a child. They have a natural instinct to protect their children, to care for and nurture them, and they have a responsibility to be a model of submission.

Family Matters: Parenting

May 5, 2024 • Tim Wilmetti • Deuteronomy 6:4–9

Parents' primary purpose is to make disciples of Jesus. They should model what it looks like to love and obey Him, they should constantly be talking about Him, and fathers and mothers should be partners in this pursuit.

Family Matters: The Wife

April 28, 2024 • Tim Wilmetti • Ephesians 5:21–24

Scripture teaches that a wife is to submit to her husband's leadership. This doesn't mean that she is a servant or that the husband should subjugate her. Marriage is about mutual submission through service, but when it comes to authority, a husband is to lead his wife and family.

Family Matters: The Husband

April 21, 2024 • Josh Rollins • Ephesians 5:21–33

Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church. In order for husbands to do so, they must grasp an understanding of the sacrificial, sanctifying, and satisfying love of Christ.

Family Matters: The Foundation

April 14, 2024 • Tim Wilmetti

A healthy marriage is the foundation of every family, especially for children growing up in the home. God's design for marriage is for two people, one man and one woman, to unite as one through a lifelong covenant. Men and women were created to complement and to support one another as they love God and live for Him.

Family Matters: The Bedrock of Society

April 7, 2024 • Tim Wilmetti • Genesis 15:1–6

God chose to build a nation out of one single family. When Jesus came into the world, He was born into a family. A healthy family is one of the greatest determining factors in a person's well-being. God had great intentions for families, but they are never meant to replace our love and dependence on Him.
