Blessed Family
Finding Joy in Obedience
2025 june Series
In this fast-paced, jam-packed, scheduled world of almost nonverbal communication caused by the misuse of technology in our daily lives, families may struggle to maintain harmony, instill values, and nurture strong relationships. Despite these challenges, returning to our spiritual roots becomes increasingly essential. The Bible's teachings and wisdom are invaluable for figuring out things like family relationships, parental duties, how to solve problems, and a lot more.
The goal of this series is to restore God's original design for families. The "Blessed Family" series, taken from this portion of the Book of Psalms, clearly identifies the focus, which is on the blessings associated with a family that is devoted to God. This title highlights the benefits of a family that fears and obeys God. This also implies that your family's blessing will be connected to the prosperity of the city.
Psalm 128 1-4
1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table.
4 Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the Lord.
5 May the Lord bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

A Blessed Family
Birthday Sunday
Psalm 128:1
1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.
This highlights the benefits of obeying God, showing it as a route to happiness and rewards rather than hardship. The concept of obedience, which refers to the pleasant, caring, and supporting atmosphere inside a family, including a fruitful wife, children as olive shoots, and a prosperous existence, is the key that unlocks the blessings mentioned.

Psalm 127:1-2 by faith we allow God to build our family His way. Watching over our family as we walk in obedience to His principles.
This also suggests that while rising early and staying up late to toil for food may seem productive, true rest and blessing come from trusting in God's provision and guidance
Children are gifts and reward from God, they are not just the result of procreation, but a valuable gift from God. They are seen as both an inheritance passed down and a reward for faith and obedience

A Flourishing Family
Communion Sunday
Psalm 128:2
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.
This is a simple and direct emphasis on God’s blessings bestowed upon a family, focusing on prosperity because of a God-centered family. In the Bible, flourishing is defined as a condition of healthy, thriving growth and development, especially about one's relationship with God. An abundant and spiritual life, marked by fruit production and the experience of God's graces, is just as important as bodily well-being.

Father’s day special
AN Ideal Family
Life Group Sunday

BS CAMPAIGN PRESENTATION
Psalm 128:4
4 Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the Lord.
This topic is more focused on the blessing of the father who fears and honors the Lord. While often translated as "fear," it is more accurately understood as reverence, respect, and awe for God. It's about recognizing His power and authority and aligning one's life with God's will.
This verse also shows us that the family blessing flow starts from the father to the rest and to the man. This reminds us that nothing can make up for our success in any field that can cover our failure at home. Our greatest asset is strong family ties. This is the measurement of your true success.
Father’s Declaration:
Joshua 24:15
“But if you are unwilling to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD.”
