A Renovation of Family

Identify Your Family:

1. Broken family
2. Divided family
3. Worldly family
4. Religious family
5. Healthy family
   If our family is the same damaged, divided, and disconnected family
   we had before this started, then we’ve lost the lesson.

A Renovation of Family:

1. Put God first.
   Mark 12:29-30 NLT
   Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O
   Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love
   the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and
   all your strength.’”
   We love others best when we love God most.
   The way I put Jesus first is not “Jesus THEN my family” but “Jesus IN
   my family.”
   Deuteronomy 6:4-7 NIV
   Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your
   God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
   strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on
   your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when
   you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie
   down and when you get up.
   The most important thing you could ever do for your family is help
   them see that God is the most important thing.

   and pray together daily.
2. Put family second.
   Your family should never have the question of whether or not you
   love your job more than them.

   do.” — Andy Stanley
3. Make changes today.
   James 1:22 NIV
   Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what
   it says.
