Leadership In The Home

Contributed by Alan Perkins on May 29, 2001

How the Biblical model of male headship should work, and what it is meant to show us about God.

Submission In The Home

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 3, 2001

Last Sunday, I spoke on the issue of male headship in the home. I mentioned that this was a difficult topic to preach on, because this is an area where our society is so far out of synch with God’s plan. I said that today, those who uphold the Biblical pattern for the home are ridiculed and ...read more

SERMON—LOST AT HOME—LUKE 15: 8-10 The parables of our Lord are remarkable stories, which he so wonderfully told on many different occasions.

Headed Home

Contributed by James Chandler on Apr 1, 2003

There are some important lessons we can learn from the story of the Prodigal Son.

It has always been tough to be a young person growing up. And it has always been tough to be a parent and raise children into adults.

A House Is Not A Home

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 3, 2001

Christ comes to dwell in our messy, imperfect homes, just as they are, to build love, not a museum-like perfection.

A house is not a home. A house is not a home. A house is a house, and it may be lovely to look at and fine to visit, but a house, by itself, is not a home. What is the difference? Let me tell you a tale of two houses. These are the best of houses, these are the worst of houses. See if you ...read more
