Preaching on the Home

As much as I love the holiday season, I am thankful that the holidays have passed for another year.  Here we are in January!  Winter has finally decided to arrive in south central Kentucky and we have been enjoying freezing temperatures for several weeks now.  In typical Kentucky fashion, the weatherman is predicting that Wednesday's temperatures (January 10th) will be in the 60's!

Our church calendar is still very active, the next item on our agenda is our annual Purity Banquet.  This is a time we set aside each year for our young people to make a commitment to the Lord.  This commitment is that they would keep themselves pure until marriage.  It is always a special time at our church.

I believe that it is with this banquet in mind that the Lord has led me to begin preaching on the home and on prayer.  For the foreseeable future, I will be preaching on these two topics, one on Sunday morning and the other on Sunday night.

Last Sunday evening, I begin the series on the home.  We began with the foundation.  The psalmist tells us in Psalms 127:1 "Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it."  We spent our time examining the foundation of our homes.  We saw that in I Corinthians that there is no other foundation that can be laid except the Lord Jesus.  The home should be based on the Lord!

We finished the sermon by looking at eight warning signs of foundation failure.  I believe that this series of messages will be a help to those who are having family trouble as well as those who are interested in keeping trouble at bay.  I'm excited to see what the Lord will do with this series on the family.

On Sunday morning, we began our series on prayer.  If there is one thing that every Christian could absolutely work on, it's our prayer life.  It is so important that we know how to pray!  I'm probably the least qualified preacher to preach on prayer, but the Lord has led me to do so.  I am looking forward to learning and applying new things to help my prayer life.

Join us!  We would love to see you at any of our services!
