Introduction:
This mornings message is part two of a entitled “Get Your House in Order.” Today we are going to be looking at “Get Your House in Order Physically.” Because as I made reference in the introductory sermon that, “Physical problems can cause divorce between each other in the family.” You may ask pastor well, “What do you mean by get your house in order physically?” I’m so glad you asked, because I’m going to try my best to tell you this morning.
You see long term sick or permanent handicaps can have put a heavy strain on a family. It sometimes causes extra marital affairs. With dysfunctional homes physically will un-invitingly cause spiritually problems also. In last weeks sermon we looked at the roll of each family member: Husband/father is the head of House or leader, Wife/mother is the teacher, Children are trainees, and parents are a team that are suppose to work together to make the house stay in order.
1.Father’s Job list for getting his house in order:
a. Leading his family forward Spiritually.
b. Providing for his family’s needs.
