Today's Word 05-11-26 A Family Built on Faith · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

  Speaker 1: I am sherry back. He at his time right now
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: for today's word. A family built on faith. A family
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: built on faith, Joshua twenty four fifteen says, but as
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: You know, family is one of God's greatest gifts. It's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a place where love is learned, values are shaped, and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: faith is passed from one generation to the next. But
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: if we're honest, family isn't always easy. There are busy schedules, misunderstandings,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: pressures from the outside world in moments when patience runs thin.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: That's why a strong family doesn't happen by accident. It's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: built on purpose. Joshua made a bold declaration, as for
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: me and my household, we will serve the Lord. He
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: didn't say we'll follow whatever culture is doing, or we'll
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: go with whichever way is easy. Is He made a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: decision that his family would be rooted in God, no
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: matter what was happening around them. See, that same choice
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: is before us today. In a world that is constantly shifting,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: families need something unshakable to stand on. That foundation is God.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: When a family chooses to put God first, it changes
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the atmosphere of the home. It doesn't mean everything becomes perfect,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: it does mean you're no longer trying to figure life
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: out on your own. Serving God as a family starts
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: with simple, intentional steps. It's taking time to pray together,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: even if it's brief. It's speaking words of encouragement instead
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of criticism. It's choosing forgiveness when it would be easier
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to hold a grudge. It's creating moments where God is
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: not just a part of your life, but the center
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of it. What you model in your home matters more
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: than what you say. Children learn faith not just by instruction,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: but by observation when they see you trust in God
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in difficult times, choosing peace over worry and showing kindness
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: even when it's hard. It leaves a lasting impression. And
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: if you feel like your family isn't where it should be,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: don't you dare get discouraged? No, no, no, Every strong
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: foundation starts with a single decision. You don't have to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: change everything overnight. Just take one step. Invite God into
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: your daily routine, speak life over your home. Trust that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: He's working even in the small moments. God's desire is
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: not just to bless individuals, but entire households. He wants
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: your home to be a place of peace, of joy,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of strength and love, a place where His presence is felt.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So today make the choice as for me and my household,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: we will serve the Lord and trust that as you do,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: God will build something in and through your family. Oh bather, God,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: thank you for the gift of family. Help us to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: build our homes on you and to keep you at
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the center of all we do. Teach us God to love,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: teach us God to forgive, Teach us God to support
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: one another in every season. Let your peace fill our
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: homes and your presence God our hearts. God, we declare
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that our family will serve you in Jesus' name. Hey,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: now that's your word for today. Take an apply to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: your everyday life and you continue to be encouraged that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and inspired. It is your early mording praise party. I
