Whether your family situation is ideal or miserable it is a significant part of who you are. Healthy family relationships can be strengthened and troubled families or family members can grow and thrive with the power of God's word. In this sermon Gary examines five families whose stories are in the Bible. The Bible doesn't sugar coat facts and record bad outcomes as well as the good. We can learn from both and with additional wisdom from selected Bible passages we all can grow. For family situations that are too far gone for reconciliation Bible study and application has a strengthening affect that will help anyone rise above troubled relationships. We hope this sermon will strengthen your relationship with your family and with God. Thanks for listening and don't hesitate to reach out to us with your concerns, comments and questions.
