The third installment of the Family Matters series by Danny Harrell.

Delving into Ephesians 2:19-22, Danny emphasizes that as believers, we are "no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God".

He highlights that this community is "being built together into a dwelling place for God by the spirit", meaning individuals are never alone but are part of God's family.

A core message is that God "doesn't want us to live in silos" or "be alone"; instead, He "always invites me back into the fold to say, 'Now get with some other folks who can talk through this and pray through this and minister to you while you do this'".

In "Family Matters, Part 1," Danny explores the profound truth that our households are a divine gift from God, regardless of their size or composition.

Drawing on personal anecdotes and powerful biblical examples, Danny challenges listeners to intentionality in their family lives in an increasingly busy world.

This sermon unpacks three crucial aspects of honoring God within our family units:

- making intentional time for rest (remembering the Sabbath and Jesus's example),

- being truly present with those God has entrusted to us (whether family or "guests" in our lives),

- and consistently spending time with the Lord through daily devotions, prayer, and intentional "table talk".

Discover how embracing these practices can transform your family life and help you steward the precious relationships God has placed in your care, ultimately fulfilling the church mission of "Gathering our community to make Jesus known".

In this sermon from Ecclesiastes 5, preacher Danny explores the profound question: "How do wise people enter the presence of God?".

He emphasizes that for New Testament believers, God's presence is not confined to a physical church building but is an "active ongoing presence" within those who know Him, as signified by Jesus's name, Emmanuel, meaning "God with us."

The sermon outlines practical ways to "guard your steps" in this daily living: by knowing God's Word and engaging in prayer and supplication.

Join Dustin and Jana Weaver as they explore what defines a truly meaningful existence beyond the "meaningless" pursuits of life "under the sun".

Drawing from the book of Ecclesiastes, this powerful message delves into how our work, when purposed to bring glory to God, can find true meaning.

It highlights that work pursued out of envy or to the neglect of relationships is seen as meaningless and a "chasing after the wind".
