Forward by Faith

As we continue our series of discipleship in the family, we take a look at the various facets of singleness and consider what a life of gospel faithfulness looks like for Christian singles in the church. 

We've spent a few weeks on a new series on Discipleship in the Family where we are looking at the different aspects of "family" and how God desires to shape men, women, and children to walk in the ways of Jesus. This week we consider what it means to disciple our children in the ways of Jesus, looking at God's word for insight and direction. 

Last week we kicked off our series on Discipleship in the Family where we are looking at the different aspects of "family" and how God desires to shape men, women, and children to walk in the ways of Jesus. This week we look at the marriage partnership and discuss practical ways in which husbands and wives can love each other well and reflect the heart of God within their relationship.

This week we begin a series on what discipleship looks like within the family. We start with a brief introduction on what God desires for the family, looking at the structure of partnership between the husband and wife. In coming weeks, we'll look at a variety of aspects of today's families, including fostering, adoption, singleness, and how to cope with family brokenness.

Many of us look to the brand new year as a fresh start to begin again. Whether starting new habits or reorienting old patterns of life, we are hopeful this year will be different in a good way. In this episode we consider what new resolutions for the year could look like in our journey of discipleship, and we get a little help from the Puritan Jonathan Edwards. What does a pastor from the 1700's have to say to us in 2022? Take a listen.

The Advent season is a season of seeking and surrendering to the true King of the world. In the stories of both the shepherds in the gospel of Luke and the Magi in the gospel of Matthew, we see this seeking and surrendering take place. These different groups of people serve as an example for us as we consider this Christmas what it means to seek Jesus and surrender our lives to him. In other words, these gospel stories point us to what if means to find and follow Jesus.

Merry Christmas from Forward by Faith!
