Jesus promised that problems will come against us, stability for people who build their life upon His Word, and failure to those who hear but don’t build upon the Rock. In Matthew 7, Jesus instructed us to build our home on the rock, not on shifting sand. Wise builders build for worse case scenarios. If you’re only building for good times, you are building for failure. There are for steps to building a family on the rock:
1. Surrender your life and family to Jesus
2. Trust God to meet your needs and care for you
3. Plan for the future
4. Be faithful to church

Moses released his rod into God's hands and the retrieved what God transformed it into. The things we release to Him become far greater in His hands than they ever will in our own. What's in your hand?

Cain's sacrifice was of his best things, while Abel's was of his first things. God favors our first things over our best things. First matter most to the Master.

Nehemiah 4:1 (NKJV)
But it so happened, when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, that he was furious and mocked the Jews.

Sanballat wasn’t mad because walls were being rebuilt. He took offense at what the walls represented. Sanballat and Tobiah’s issue with the Jewish people wasn’t their city and wall… it was their worship and their God.

Like in Nehemiah’s day, today, we find that anything wholesome, anything modest, and anything righteous infuriates the spirit of this day. Why is it that righteousness is mocked? Because who and what Satan can’t corrupt, he antagonizes.

Nehemiah 4:13-14 (NKJV)
Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows. And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”

Our families are worth fighting for!

October is Family Month at Conroe Church. We are basing this series off the story of Nehemiah and his courageous leadership to re-build the wall surrounding Jerusalem.

Nehemiah 4:13-14 (NKJV)
Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows. And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”

The family is the foundational institution of society instituted by God. Families are close to God’s heart. Throughout time, God’s plan has always been for parents to raise up their children to know and love Him and walk in His ways. Society is in the shape it’s in today because families have not diligently taught their children.

Three simple truths:
1. It’s not the schools responsibility to raise our children.
2. It’s not Hollywood and Youtube’s responsibility to entertain our children.
3. We must take personal responsibility for the discipleship and Biblical literacy of our families.

If we don’t teach our children the Bible, the world will shove its evolutionary, humanistic, atheistic, or New Age religion down their throats.

Psalm 34:8 says, "Taste and see that the Lord is good..." In this evangelistic message, Reverend Tyler Sullivan encouraged us to "Try The Lamb." In moments of sorrow, try the Lamb. In times of discouragement, try the Lamb. Lastly, when the opportunity for bitterness comes, try the Lamb.

We are close to the second coming of Jesus, but no one knows the exact day. Pastor Trent shares two "Signs of the End of Time:" increased wickedness and increased evangelism. We hope you enjoy this message.

In this sermon, Kameron Burgess emphasizes the importance of revisiting abandoned altars and rebuilding broken altars. We are reminded to live a life that's pleasing to God.

In the final week of our Disciples Series, Pastor Trent delivered a powerful thought on Revival. If we don’t take sin seriously, we will become a casualty to the thing trying to get back into our lives. The christian lifestyle is a spiritual battle against sin.

Week three of the Disciples Series focused on renewing our commitment to grow. The first words to man were, "Be fruitful and multiple." Additionally, after the great flood, God told Noah's family, "Be fruitful and multiple." Throughout time God's plan for humanity has never changed. It's time to grow.
