Father's, Mother's, and Kids! The whole Truth.

Well the weather is getting colder... and I think we finally might be headed towards Winter.  Although I hate to see Autumn go because that is my favorite time of year.  


Today I wanted to talk to you a little bit about our Sermon Series we have been in for the last few weeks.  "Family Matters" has been one of the most widely received series that I have ever preached.  That just goes to show me that families are hurting and they need help.


Over the last few weeks we have heard about "Why Marriages Fail"; "What Wives Want Their Husbands to Know"; "What Husbands Want Their Wives to Know"; and this week we will be looking at kids and parenting.  The Bible speaks so vividly to all of these subjects and I am thrilled that God has allowed me to be able to preach on these things.


If you haven't been able to be at all of the services... you can pick up a CD of each message....  I encourage you to do so.  


A few weeks ago I went and saw "Courageous."  If you haven't seen it yet you need to make plans to go.... it is a "must see" movie.  After the first of the year we will be talking more about the movie and the message of the movie... but let me say this.... MEN, God wants you to stand up and take on the role that He has given us as Spiritual Leaders of the Home.  We must not be afraid of this Role.


I really believe that God is trying to challenge Dad's and Mom's to be the parents He has called us to be.  In a world where Kids are raising themselves... and have little or NO respect for parents... it is time for something to change.  It has to begin with Parents!!!  


I really want to see families changed... Divorce should not be even an option for Christians....  Mom's and Dad's must be involved in their Children's lives and take an interest in them... Kids need to learn to obey their parents and respect authority...and so on.


That is why I believe that the next few months at Eagle are going to be really important for all of us.  I want you to be as excited as I am about what God is trying to do here.  My prayer is that you will get on board with me as we speak the truth about God's view of what the Family should be.  I believe if you get excited, and bring your friends to hear the messages, lives can, and will, be changed forever!


So, are you with me?  Are you ready for what is going to happen?  Don't miss what God is going to do!  Make plans to be a part of every week at Eagle... and make a commitment today that you will invite those who are hurting and need Jesus.


Thanks for listening...
