God loves every person and every home. But there are good reasons to uphold the ideal of life-long marriages, two-parent households, and church-going families as the norm. In this sermon, I’ll show you why.

The sermon today is titled "Raising New Life." It is the fourth installment in our series "Jesus At Home: Parenting In His Presence." The Scripture reading is from Colossians 3:1-4, Ephesians 6:4 & Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on Sunday, June 2, 2024. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under GROW: Families & Relationships.
