sermon- One Big, Happy Family – August 30, 2020
Just imagine
you’ve been working on a puzzle or LEGO set that’s taken you hours to complete
and then all of a sudden you hear your brother or sister comes running around
the corner and destroys your LEGO set or puzzle. The first thing that comes to
your mind is anger. You yell at your sibling and they get upset and they start
to cry. It starts to build on you and you realize even though something of
yours hurt in the process, it’s not something to get mad about it’s material.
You start to realize that your sibling is your family it dawns on you that no
matter what, they are here for you.
“Bear with one
another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgive each other; as the
Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.” – Colossians 3:13
This means that no matter
what your siblings or family does to aggravate you to always bear with them and
work with each other to forgive one another for your mistakes! Now your
siblings aren’t the only family members that might sometimes get under your
skin. Parents the greatest and sometimes a bad thing. They embarrass you, they
get you angry sometimes but it’s only because they want the best for you. They
might not express it in the best way but they do want the best for you.
In exodus 20:12 it says Honor your father and
your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is
giving you.”
This bible verse means that
as long as you listen to your parents, god will take care of you and make your
life long and prosperous! You will always have a spot in your heart for your
family no matter what, just ask Lauren Kornack. She was 22 years old when she
found her father pinned under a car and knew she had to act fast. According to CNN,
she literally got adrenaline enough to pick the car up and pulled her father
out and began to give him CPR saving his life. She knew her love for her father
was strong and she knew what her family did for her. Family is there through
thick and thin and they’ll always want you in their lives as proven in this
story. Family is important in a Christian life and just in life in general.
Your family and your Christian family is always gonna be here for you no matter
what you do they won’t judge you for whatever you do they’ll be there to help
you and support you through your life. Your blood family and Christian family
aren’t the only two families you have. Your friends can easily become and
create a different type of family. Friends are like family. We all have one or
two friends that we would consider family. They’re like a brother or sister and
sometimes you two fight like brothers or sisters in proverbs 17:17 it’s says “A
friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” This
bible verse is saying that your friends will love you at all times and be there
for you as well as he we will become a brother in love and will help you in
worse times. All in all families are here for you and they always will be as
well as your friends so remember next time you are about to get angry at them
or your friends, remember they love you and you still love them. Thank you.
