We celebrate Jesus because He rose again!

"We celebrate Jesus not because He needs us, but because He wants us!" Just as God chose John the Baptist to prepare the way for the coming Messiah, He has chosen us to prepare the way for His return. When we accept Christ as our personal Savior, we become part of the family and Kingdom of God. At that moment, everything changes.

Why do we prepare the way?

1. It's our purpose.

2. They're more likely to say "yes."

3. It could change their life forever.

"If you want to be blessed, you must invest!"

The smart way to a happy blessed family:

1. Choose to invest in your family.

2. Choose to obey the Lord.

3. Choose to love the Lord, His Word, and church with all our heart.

4. Choose to commit ourselves to teaching and training our children diligently.

1. It's stupid to be hot-headed.

2. It's stupid to be haughty.

3. It's not stupid to repent.

"It's stupid to live by the flesh, but it's wise to live by the Holy Spirit."

1. We always pay stupid tax when we birth something out of the flesh.

2. It's smart to be led by the Holy Spirit.

3. To live in freedom, we must crucify the flesh.

4. The flesh brings death, but the Spirit brings life.

When we run from God, we are running from true life and freedom! We can learn a lot from Jonah. Jonah ran from God, but in the end he still ended up doing what God wanted him to do. Don't be stupid like Jonah. Don't run from God!

Sin destroys everything, but God redeems! We get to be a part of His plan of redemption!

As husbands/fathers, wives/mothers, and even children, we have a choice. We must "choose this day who we will serve." Join us as we unpack how God's design for family impacts the world and spreads the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
