Ephesians 5:33-6:1
In this sermon, we look at the origins of the family in Genesis 2 and 3, and see God's purposes in creating a family unit, - man, woman, child/ren. We then explore how the fall of man destroyed everything, sin entered the world and the family paradigm of intimate innocence within God's purposes, was shattered by guilt, same and blame, and that led to death, and murder. Even then, God was not finished with the family, - and it into a family, a mother, and a stepfather, that he sent his only begotten Son, the Saviour of the world.
We noted that the effects of sin on the family - disfunctionality and breakdown, and various perversions of the family, are legislated for and encouraged by the wicked governments that rule western nations, and because every national authority finds is source in, and is an extension of the family, - the breakdown of the family has led to the moral and spiritual breakdown and decline of society.
Finally, we seek to find out what a Christian and biblical family should look like, and we learn that such a family is characterised by love, respect and discipline.
