  • Home Improvement, Building Strong Families - "What Does Your Family Smell Like?" with Family and Children's Pastor Melissa Sawastuk
    Sep 29 2024

    In this powerful sermon, Pastor Melissa Sawastuk explores the powerful metaphor of family "scent" and how it reflects our relationship with God. Diving into Ephesians 5:1-2, she challenges listeners to examine the aroma of their homes and church family - is it the sweet fragrance of Christ's sacrificial love, or something less pleasing?

    Pastor Melissa guides us through practical ways to cultivate an atmosphere of agape love in our marriages, parenting, and church community. She encourages wives to release control, husbands to love selflessly, children to obey with joy, and all believers to be the aroma of Christ to a watching world.

    This message is a must-listen for anyone desiring to build a Christ-centered, others-focused family. Lean in as Pastor Melissa shares biblical wisdom and inspiration to help your family truly "smell like Jesus."

    As you listen to this message, ask God to reveal areas where your family's "scent" needs to be transformed by the fragrance of Christ's love. What sacrifices is He calling you to make in order to become a more Christ-like spouse, parent, or church member? Commit to following His lead, and watch as your family begins to radiate the pleasing aroma of Jesus to all who encounter you. The world is longing to catch a whiff of genuine, Spirit-filled love - will your family be the source?

    Pastor Dan shares stories of how the early church miraculously brought together Jews and Gentiles, and encourages us to follow their example of welcoming all people, regardless of their background or life situation. He reminds us that we have been adopted as children of God, and have the privilege of calling Him "Abba, Father."

    Whether you feel like you don't belong or you've taken your family for granted, this message is for you. Pastor Dan invites us to step out of our comfort zones, greet someone new, and make sure everyone knows they are part of the family of God.

  • Home Improvement, Building Strong Families - "Tell Your Sons and Daughters"
    Sep 15 2024

    In this powerful sermon, Lead Pastor Dan Harrison challenges us to be intentional about passing down our faith to the next generation. Drawing from the biblical accounts in Exodus 12 and Deuteronomy 6, he emphasizes the critical role of families in teaching children not just what we believe, but why we believe it.

    Pastor Dan unpacks the generational patterns of faith, from the "fire generation" who experienced God's miracles firsthand, to the "ember generation" who struggle to keep the flame alive. He encourages us to be the voice that connects these generations, sharing our personal testimonies and creating meaningful moments of remembrance.

    Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or simply someone who cares about the future of the church, this message will inspire you to be more intentional about discipling the next generation. Learn how to effectively teach, model, and enforce your faith, and discover the transformative power of sharing your story.

    Don't miss this insightful sermon on the importance of family discipleship. Lean in and ask God to speak to your heart about the legacy you're leaving behind. Will you take up the challenge to be the voice that reignites the fire of faith in your family and community?
