Hey everyone I’m Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Church.
This month we are working our way through a series titled “The Christian Family, Living for Christ in the Present.”
Marriage and the family are under great stress today.
The church has a vital stake in the husband / wife relationships and the parent / child relationships of those who call themselves believers.
Today we are talking about Enemies of the Family.
How do Christians walk?
We walk in love, as Christ taught us to walk.
This is a high ceiling, but it is nevertheless exactly what the Lord expects of His people.
When we fail, He is willing to work with us, He knows how to forgive.
But make no mistake about it, God wants us to grow continually in the fullness of life in Jesus Christ.
This may sound like an admonition for personal Christian living alone, but it also precedes a lengthy passage on family relationships.
Therefore we should apply these truths to the family as well as our personal lives.
We have already identified friends of the family, but we should be aware of enemies of the family as well.
While it is true that certain television shows and movies can be detrimental to the health of the family, these are not our primary enemies.
We cannot isolate ourselves from the world if we are to have any impact on it.
The real enemies of the family are those that arise out of our own disobedience to the Word of God.
We can name these enemies by looking carefully at our Scripture passage.
Until next time
Stay in the Blessings
I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.
When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.
Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!
You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at www.refinerylife.org
When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.
So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you! Or even if you just want to say Hi, you can contact us
