Growing Deeper, Getting Stronger: Dedicating Your Home to God
•
New Hope Community Church, Robbie Lankford
Have you begun exploring what it means to follow Christ, but are sensing that there is more? Maybe you've been a Christian a while but have moved away from your closeness with Christ. In this series, we talk about some key elements to growing and getting stronger as a follower of Christ.
Joshua 24: 1-15
#1. Learn from the past
“Those who ignore the past are destined to repeat it.”
Sometimes, God brings us to special places where He can speak to us in a special way.
2 things God wants us to learn from our past:
- Our mistakes
- His goodness to us
What are some things from your past that God might want to use to help your home be stronger in the future?
-in our nation
-in your extended family (family of origin)
-in your own life
-in your marriage
-with your kids
#2. Make your decision
Joshua 24: 14-15
Sometimes, it is time to make your decision.
II Corinthians 6: 2b
Hebrews 3: 7-8
Philippians 3: 13b-14
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is not promised. What will you do today?
How to dedicate your home to God:
- Make it your aim to glorify God
I Corinthians 10: 31
- Give the relationships to God
2 of the best decisions you can make for your home:
pray for each one by name every day
pray with your family every day
- Promote a Godly atmosphere
You will not stumble upon Godliness.
I Timothy 4: 7b
- Be dead to self. If you want your home to be all that it needs to be, you must stop being focused on self!
