Family Worship
God has appointed the home as the primary place where children are brought up in the training and admonition of the Lord. This session shows the biblical basis for family worship, explains the details for how it can be done, and casts a vision for family life lived for the glory of God.
Helping Them Choose: Biblical Thinking About Courtship & Marriage ~ Part 1
This two part series begins in Genesis 24 where we find a wonderful example of family life where a visionary father sets the criteria for the selection of a wife for his son, and he dispatches his most trusted advisor to find her. What can we learn from Abraham's example for guiding our own sons and daughters in marriage? In this message, Scott Brown brings out the issues this story raises and comes with biblical principles to guide parents and their children in this important matter.
Helping Them Choose: Biblical Thinking About Courtship & Marriage ~ Part 2
The second session identifies the trials and tribulations which may await those who assist in the marriage of their sons and daughters. Some experience light afflictions while others have great tumult. Others may seem to breeze through the process without a hitch. But wherever you are on the continuum, there will be some challenges. Why is it such a minefield? Fortunately, the answers to these questions also lead us to the solutions.
How Fathers Help Their Sons to Maximize Their Years of Youth
We live in an age where massive amounts of time, energy and money are poured into a culture of entertainment, amusement, games and sports. The investments in these areas are absolutely astonishing. In this message, Scott will explore how fathers help their sons to maximize their time for the glory of God, redeem the time and prepare themselves for marriage and the great battles of manhood that lie ahead.
How the Church & Family Are a Blessing to One Another
The home cannot be understood apart from the church, for the home is a discipleship community that mirrors many functions of the church. Nor can the church be understood apart from the home, for the church is a household. In this message, Scott Brown lists fifteen ways the family is a nursery for the church. The home is designed to be a nursery of the church, for it fills the church with people who have been affected by the beauty created there. There is a complementary pattern for family and church life. The biblical architecture of the church of God brings families together and every aspect of the design is meant to declare the glory of God from one generation to the next.
Protecting Your Daughters
The Bible makes it clear that God has established an unbroken line of protection for women from cradle to the grave. In this message, Scott Brown will identify the various seasons of life that God provides this protection, and focuses on how earthly fathers fit in to the plan of God for the protection of His precious daughters.
Unified Fathers & Sons Reflecting the Glory of God
The pattern for earthly fathers and sons is made in heaven. The Father and His Son Jesus Christ give us what we need to know about how earthly fathers and sons are supposed to function together. In this message, we will chart this relationship in order to cast a vision for faithful and holy father and son relationships and to probe areas of repentance and change that might be necessary for faithfulness to the heavenly vision.
