We Are Family Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 24, 2018

There's something about families. Our families can be the source of the greatest joy and deepest heartaches. There's more emotion attached to our families than any other unit in society. And Jesus had some revolutionary things to say about family.

INTRODUCTION Over the years, it’s been my joy to officiate more than 500 weddings. Sometimes funny things happen at weddings. I’ve had a groom who passed out not once, but three times during the ceremony. I’ve had several groomsmen pass out—but never a bride or a bridesmaid. And they call females ...read more

Family Relatioships

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2021

This passage of scripture follows the one that spoke of what we should PUT ON and PUT OFF in our Christian lives. There are some things that are in our spiritual wardrobe, that are unbecoming to us to wear as Christians.

Illus: It is unbecoming for any man to wear a pair of orange pants with green stripes, and a purple shirt with polka dots. If a man insists on wearing such an outfit, people are going to laugh at him behind his back. Today a lot of folks are laughing behind the backs of some Christians. Paul ...read more

The Family Business

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 21, 2022

We don’t know very much about Jesus’ process of maturation. The Gospels are rather silent about his growing up years, with Matthew being the only other canonical gospel that even offers a birth narrative, and he is silent on the years between birth and baptism.

TITLE: THE FAMILY BUSINESS SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 2:49 It was just two months ago we gathered here in the sanctuary as we celebrated the birth of our Lord and Savior. We had special programs like Candlelight Service, attended Christmas Sing Along over at Macedonia Baptist Church, and of course ...read more

A Family Photo

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 2, 2013
