The Importance of Family

In today's sermon, explore how to build resilient, God-centered marriages and families rooted in Biblical principles. Derived from the Greek word for "household" or "family," Oikos emphasizes the vital role families play in God’s plan. Pastor Adam illuminates God’s blueprint for marriage and family as demonstrated in Genesis and reaffirmed by Jesus, highlighting the unity of man and woman as "one flesh" and the charge to "be fruitful and increase." At Hill City, we tackle the modern threats to family—individualism, materialism, and divorce— and illustrate how these forces undermine the sacred family structure and calling on families to resist these cultural pressures.

Satan’s agenda to weaken the family is countered through a renewed commitment to God’s plan, with practical steps for fostering a unified, loving household. From daily affirmations of sacred union to shared meals, prayer, and family bonding, these tools help restore trust, cultivate gratitude, and create a solid foundation that resists the forces pulling families apart. By upholding family as sacred, we can build homes that reflect God’s love and withstand the challenges of today’s culture.
