what the family should be
DESCRIPTION
Our Families are all different in their struggles, but hopefully we are all striving to be more of what God wants us to be. What should we be striving for?TRANSCRIPT
Great Oaks Family Day 2011
Learning from
Ruth and Naomi
Ruth 1:16(16) But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to
leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go,
Ruth 1:16I will go, and where
you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your
God, my God.
Our families
should be places of
relationship
Learning from Lois
and Eunice
2 Timothy 1:5(5) For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother
Lois and
2 Timothy 1:5your mother Eunice,
and I am sure that it is in you as well.
Our families
should be places of
faith-building.
Learning from David
and Joab
2 Samuel 19:5-6(5) Then Joab came into the house to the king and said, “Today you have covered with
shame the faces of
2 Samuel 19:5-6all your servants, who today have saved your
life and the lives of your sons and daughters, …
2 Samuel 19:5-6(6) by loving those
who hate you, and by hating those
who love you. …
Our families
should be places of
truth-telling.
Learning from Barnabas and Mark
Acts 15:39(39) And there
occurred such a sharp disagreement that
they separated from one another,
Acts 15:39and Barnabas took Mark with him and
sailed away to Cyprus.
Our families should be places of
encouragement.
The greatest
influence in our
lives will come from
our families.
