Dr. Gary Chapman and Dr. Shannon Warden compare family life to renovating a home — you need a good “blueprint” or plan for how you want your family to grow, and a solid foundation of godly character traits like kindness, love, forgiveness, building trust, building connection, and having fun together. Parents and kids need to be “all in” and working as a team to instill these traits into their relationships. Dr. Chapman also talks about the 5 Love Languages, and Dr. Warden shares several stories about parenting her own children.

Sometimes, circumstances overwhelm us, forcing us to turn to God for a way out. Jonah was certainly overwhelmed in the belly of the great fish. In this message, Pastor Lutzer reveals how God uses confinement to purify our hearts. What must God do before we finally surrender our self-will?

Some people think their own well-being is a personal right. Jonah being confronted with his heartlessness towards the Assyrians, while he is still clinging to his "right" to feel comfort. In this message, Pastor Lutzer illustrates how God will break us of our narcissistic heart for a heart of compassion like His. Will we let ourselves be broken by God?

Looking for a little satisfaction today? You can have it, but you’ve got to look in the right place. Well, the Rolling Stones wrote about it more than fifty years ago. Solomon wrote about it centuries before that. They all sought a little satisfaction yet couldn’t find it. But, there is a way to live a contented, satisfied life, and Ron tells you all about it next, as he continues his teaching series, “Psalm 23 and Me: Living the Good Life with The Good Shepherd.”

Jesus Christ is preeminent in all the universe—above all things. With so many competing claims for truth and power in this world, we need to have a clear understanding of his supremacy—and we need to humbly recognize that all things in this universe, including us, were created for him.
