FAMILY FORWARD
What do you look forward to for your family? Do you have a vision and values for your home? Vision is a clear plan for the future with imagination and wisdom. When we look forward for our family, it helps give us a vision to move toward. Family Values can help guide your decisions as you begin to choose what is best, rather than what is good. As we seek to follow Jesus, we can look to God’s Word to give us direction for our vision and values.
FAITH FILLED HOLIDAYS
Most holidays create a perfect occasion to reinforce your family’s faith, especially those rooted in Christian traditions and celebrations. Select any of the tools below to drive intentional faith conversations in your home.
TALK W/ GOD AT HOME
Prayer is simply a conversation with God. It is a way we communicate, worship, praise, and know our Heavenly Father. It is our dependence on the One who holds all things together. Individual prayer is powerful, but Scripture tells us there is a supernatural dynamic when we pray with others.
THE 9: BEARING FRUIT@HOME
The fruit of the Spirit grows out of an abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. Fruit is produced in us not by us. But we have a part to play by submitting ourselves to God and inviting Him to nurture His character in us.
TELL THE STORY
We all share good news with others, whether it is about a new job, a great vacation or what Jesus Christ has done for us. Share the Good News by telling His story through one verse evangelism and telling your story by creating a personal story of faith.
