Pastor Jeff continues teaching from the story of Ruth and reminds us that when we are faithful—kind, loyal, and obedient—God notices.
Ruth 2:11-12 11 Boaz replied, "I've been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. 12 May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that families stick together—even when life gets tough.
But did you know that Jesus did something even greater than Ruth? He gave everything so you and I could be part of His forever family!
Ruth 1:16-17 16 But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me."This is our final week in our series about Families, and Pastor Jeff is sharing the story of Ruth and Naomi. Families come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing is always true — God is the one who brings them together.
Ruth 1:8 8 Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go back, each of you, to your mother's home. May the Lord show you kindness, as you have shown kindness to your dead husbands and to me.It is FRI-YAY! And shoutout day! Pastor Jeff shares that God doesn't just talk about love—He shows it. One of the biggest ways God showed His love was by sending His Son, Jesus, to take the punishment for our sins.
1 John 4:7-9 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.Pastor Jeff reminds us today that when families talk about God every day—at breakfast, during car rides, or before bed—it helps their hearts and minds grow stronger in faith.
Deuteronomy 6:7-9 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.Today marks the launch of our very first Family Encouragement Podcast! We're diving into how being part of a travel sports team can impact your faith and family—and exploring what it means to honor God through it all. Pastor Jeff sits down with Will Melton to hear about his family's real-life experience.
Pastor Jeff shares today from Deuteronomy 6:4-6 and talks about a prayer called the Shema and how families should pray together.
Deuteronomy 6:4-6 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.Today, Pastor Jeff shares that when we read the Bible, pray, and talk about God as a family, we grow closer to Him and to each other.
Deuteronomy 6:3 3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.This week, we continue our series about families, and Pastor Jeff will share about how Families should learn about God together.
Deuteronomy 6:1-2 6 These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.It is FRI-YAY! And shout-out day! This week, Pastor Jeff has been sharing that Families should help one another, and we have been learning from the story of Aaron holding up Moses' arms from Genesis 17.
Hebrews 10:23-25 23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. 24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.From the publisher's feed
