NEW SERIES: FAMILY MATTERS.
Sermon: God’s Purpose for the Family
- Ps Peter Kasirivu
God established two major institutions: the family and the church. And family is the foundation of it all.
A Christian family is built through marriage, birth, or adoption is not just a social unit; it’s a kingdom assignment. That’s why the enemy fights it so hard through division, dysfunction, brokenness, and confusion.
But God’s design is clear (Malachi 2:13–16):
Marriage is a covenant, not convenience.
It is a lifelong companionship, not temporary.
It is a spiritual union with a kingdom purpose to raise a generation that loves and serves God.
The family is where values are formed, character is shaped, and destinies are nurtured.
So what is our response? (Joshua 24:15)
Choose to raise a godly family.
Invest time.
Set godly priorities.
Train your children intentionally.
Pray without ceasing.
Fight for your family and the next generation.
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
