I Will Lead My Family to Be Healthy Church Members

I hope that we are seeing the importance of church membership as we move through this sermon series. From being a “Functioning” and “Unifying” Church Member to not being a “Me First” Church Member as we pray for our church leaders, we have looked at attributes and responsibilities that each of us should exude.

Today, we will look at what might be the most important part of our series. We will talk about “Leadership.” More specifically, we will talk about leadership in the family. Our society seeks to destroy our families by redefining what a family is. We have moved on from the fight of a marriage being between one man and one woman to now spreading the lie that men can become pregnant and birth children.

All of this comes from a lack of leadership and the failure to hold others accountable. My prayer this week has been for Church Members to take the blessing of church membership seriously.

Our message title is “I Will Lead My Family to be Healthy Church Members.”

Our points will be:

1. We Must be a Healthy Church Member
2. We Must Lead Our Spouses Well
3. We Must Lead Our Children Well

Diving Deeper. After listening to today's message, consider asking yourself the following questions:

• Do you respect hypocrites? Explain.
• Why do people think that they can lead others to be something they aren’t themselves?
• Explain the importance of the roles that God has given husbands and wives.
• If you are married, are you fulfilling your God-given role properly? Explain.
• Why is it so important for mothers and fathers to lead their children well?
