Weekend Message

Our words are extremely powerful. Words have real consequences and all of us have caused problems with our words and dealt with problems caused by someone else’s words. We unpack how wisdom can help us take better control of our words.

Dad’s have a huge responsibility in shaping who their children become, how they view themselves, and how they view God. Given that responsibility, we explore the characteristics needed to be a wise father.

The book of Proverbs talks about two types of people, the fool and the wise person. Which one are you? Find the answer and learn steps you can take to become wiser.

We need all the wisdom we can get because honestly we are constantly making decisions. Every day, week, month, every hour-there are decisions. Some small, some huge. But where do we find wisdom? Learn how the Bible is the best source of insight, discernment, and good judgment that can be applied to our lives.

When we pause to focus on one, we open ourselves up to new possibilities with God. If we reach out to one person or we serve in one way, God only knows the impact we can make.

When we neglect our vehicles, they usually end up in a mechanic shop needing costly repairs. The same can be said for our lives. We all have issues, which if unaddressed, will lead to a lot of damage. This damage doesn’t just impact us, it impacts those who come after us. What we do in life echoes in eternity.​ What we do now will affects what we leave behind. We have to learn how to draw a line and with God’s help, ​face our issues.

Pastor Craig interviews some of Grace Family Church's own pastors and wives to discuss what they've learned in their marriages and through parenting over the years.

It almost seems normal to take a “test drive” before marriage, but the problem with living together is it teaches us conditional love. God’s design for marriage is a life long commitment of unconditional love toward an imperfect person. This design mirrors God’s unconditional love for us.

Wrecks are usually caused by two things: bad decisions and dangerous behaviors. In relationships, bad decisions and dangerous behaviors also cause relationships to wreck. And that wreckage is very painful. Wrecked relationships make it hard for us to trust again. The pain from the last wreck still burns and even though we want to move on, it’s incredibly difficult. Relational wreckage is hard to get over especially when it comes to our marriages. So we have to stay away from bad decisions and dangerous behaviors and begin to restore our marriages.

Salvation brings you immediate joy, but it's not the final step. We need to grow so we can be productive for the Kingdom of God. Do you want to be the barren fig tree or the blossoming fruit tree?
