shall rise against me and this i will be confident one thing i have desired of the lord that i will seek after that i may dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the lord and to inquire in his temple for in the time of trouble he shall hide me in the pavilion in the secret of his tabernacle and he shall hide me he should set me up on a rock and now shall my

go back i can't go back to the way it used to be before your presence came and changed me i won't go back i can't go back to the way it used to be before your presence came and changed me [Music] let church say amen this is our time of communion my heart is drawn to the book of hebrews where the writer clearly identifies jesus christ as the high priest reading from verse number one in chapter 10 for the law since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things can never by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year make perfect those who draw near otherwise they would not have ceased to be offered because the worshipers having once been cleansed would no longer have had consciousness of sins but in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year and here's the verse for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins i want you to imagine if you will year after year month after month you had to find a bull or a goat or a pig or a cow and have someone else as human as you to go to god to atone for your sins every year we thank god that all of that was done away with on the cross and it's at this time that we take a moment to remember that ultimate sacrifice that shut it all down for everybody and gave each and every one of us forgiveness of sins we thank god for loving us so much and not only loving us so much but giving us this moment of communion to remember that sacrifice that was made for every single one of us let us pray father god in heaven we just thank you so much for the gift of your son jesus christ who died on the scene suffered an incredible loss of painful experience and as he was raised on the third day we just rejoice in knowing that that sacrifice the pain the agony the whole ordeal was because you love us says we pause in this moment father god to take of your son's broken body and shed blood we just want to say thank you and we praise your high and mighty name for loving us so much in jesus name we pray amen [Music] [Music] jesus ever [Music] jesus has won it all [Music] right [Music] hallelujah [Music] death could not hold you down [Music] you are the risk good morning church this is the offering this is where as christians we have an opportunity to give back in america that's us and i'm going to read from the book of uh luke uh the chapter six and verse 38 tells us give and it will be given to you good measure press down shaken together running over will be put into your lap for with the measure you use it will it be measured back to you i just think this is a beautiful part of god as as christ is standing talking to the masters in luke chapter six luke's encounter the beatitudes where he just expresses that if you give that he will be consistent in doing his part and if you think about life in so many situations we always say if you do your part out i'll handle mine and that's what god asks us each and every week god continues to bless us he provides for us he gives us the things that we need and all he's asking for you just to give back a small portion of what he's given you and that we trust him that he will do his part and at this opportunity you have many ways you can give if you're here in the building we have our kiosks outside we have the black bins where you can also give your offering if you have a check of cash and online you can do so by texting or going to our website so at this time give according how god has blessed you as we sing i will call upon the lord [Music] i will call upon [Music] who is worthy to be praised [Music] i will call upon the lord [Music] the lord [Music] salvation before [Music] i will let us pray for the offering heavenly father we approach you at this time with our heads bowed and our hearts humble thank you father first of all for bless us to see another day of worship and we also father thank you father for all the many ways that we often take for granted that you bless us the abilities you've given us the skill sets our jobs our businesses and the ways that you continue to give us the things father that we need each and every day we thank you father for this opportunity to give back we pray father that this offering that we receive will be used in a manner that is pleasing in your sight and that will expand the borders of your kingdom in jesus name amen well i want to say good morning good morning church i hope everybody's doing okay on this sunday morning it's eight o'clock everybody should be bright and bushy i'm asking everyone to stand up really quick as orphans way to the stage if you could just stand stand kind of shake down that coffee you had this morning that orange juice you had maybe some of you got up early enough to eat your grits or eggs we have another opportunity this morning to hear god's word and we should always be excited because you know there's many that did not get up this morning there's many that are sick this morning there's many that want to be here this morning but they have to stay home with loved ones they're taking care of those that are in need so we need to be mindful of that i'm going to ask you just to turn around wave to your brothers and sisters say hello say hello to the person that you roll with because you probably didn't want to talk to him because it was so early this morning but you have an opportunity to see your brothers and sisters this morning so i'm going to ask orphans to come up and he's going to introduce our powerful speaker this morning okay good morning good morning it's good to see all of you and thankful to god for the opportunity to be present you may have your seats and we're excited because we know that the lord has blessed us beyond measure and we're grateful because we know that god is a mighty mighty good god you be praised how many of you thankful that god woke you up this morning yeah he's so good he's absolutely good and we're just grateful that he gives us the privilege and the opportunity to worship in spirit and truth we're excited because we're in our one month revival and many of you know that we've been putting a significant emphasis on family and the reason we're doing that is because the pandemic has certainly put pressure on families and we recognize that only not only the pandemic in terms of virus there is a pandemic of culture that is trying to kill our families as well and we want to make sure that we're putting a a healthy emphasis on the family unit so we started with the big picture the big picture is god's church is a family and that's where we started right and now we're progressing into understanding the importance of the family unit if you're anything like me families have struggled during this time period and we want to make sure that people are clear about the power of almighty god in unleashing uh the potential of family and what that means to the church as a whole it doesn't mean that we're perfect but it means that we need to be committed to the idea and to the concept into the covenant of being family and we want to make sure that we're putting good emphasis on that so we are going to introduce our guest minister trey beard is the minister of the northwest church of christ that's right right it's crazy because i've preached there i should know that um the northwest church of christ one of the unique realities about this congregation is trey started this congregation 13 years ago and he started it on a golf course with seven people y'all say amen when you can and right now they have moved into a new facility a powerful facility he has grown that church leaps and bound they are a community sensitive church they do so much for people and he preaches a strong gospel message and that church is in a constant flux of growing and we're grateful to god for his ministry so i'm glad to have trey with me um i've gotten to watch the ministry just blossom and grow and it's just been incredible to watch how he has just done a magnificent job god is using him in a mighty mighty way he i also work with trey on a on a panel called preacher and his scars and we do that um really uh once uh we're doing it once a month now once a month we were doing it bi-weekly uh but it's a great panel discussion that you want to become privy to it gives you insight into the struggles and the difficulties of being the man of god of being a minister what does it mean to be a minister what are some of the struggles that a minister goes through so you get a peek into the minister's humanity and the heavy call that he has on his life and the preacher in scars ministry started in pandemic and it gave people insight into what it means to be a preacher a lot of people are not always sensitive to the weight uh that a preacher carries but that panel discussion really gives you insight into that and we're thankful he started that he's the founder of it and we're grateful to god he invited me into that ministry and i have thoroughly enjoyed it so we're grateful to have trey beard with us and we're excited for the word he's gonna bring um and we're excited for what that means now the the praise team has organized a song for us that they will sing every sunday before we begin and we want to be mindful of that song as it helps us to focus on what we're trying to do in this month regarding family regarding putting our focus on god in regard to putting our focus um on the lord in a way that is significant so without further ado the next voice you will hear is brother trey beard and at this time we want our scene to give us our thematic song on this morning y'all need my help are you good all right um yeah you sure you got it all right good oh you go ahead and get it we will serve the lord we will will serve the lord we will serve the lord we will serve the lord as for me and my heart we will serve the lord as for me and my heart [Music] why don't you stand with me and let's praise him just for a moment [Music] name of jesus [Music] i think that's in the bible somewhere i think it's in joshua 24 15. it sounds like we sing in scripture this morning ask for me in my house we will serve [Music] oh thank you jesus we will serve yeah amen amen amen bless the name of jesus the summer said oh come let us worship and by down let us know before the lord our maker for he is our god and we are the people of his pastor and the sheep of his hand the bible says today if you hear his voice heart and not your hearts for god has given us one more day to get our lives right with jesus he has given us one more day to strive to make heaven our home he has given us one more day to get one step closer to the cross and one step away from the world we recognize and we realize that the lord of heaven he did not have to do it but we're very grateful and thankful that god did y'all ought to smile on a sunday morning and tell the lord thank you thank you it's good to be in the house of the lord uh one more time i want to first extend my thanks appreciation to your fine preacher uh dr orpheus hayward for extending the invitation for me to come and to preach my faith in jesus and it is my prayer that something will be said on this morning that will be able to bless your life not just today but also for the days and months to come now let me introduce myself uh i am one of your father's children amen and you are one of my father's sons and daughters so at the end of the day they make us ken folk in christ so i know how that works you come and they try to figure out but i'm from uh mississippi amen my crooked letter qriket letter i humpback humpback aye so i'm gonna be myself this this morning and it's my prayer that you will be blessed and if y'all just work with me get your amens out your pockets and i promise i won't hold you alone uh if you will could you stand with me for the reading of the word of god uh in genesis chapter 2 in genesis chapter 2 and i want you to meet me in verse number 15 and uh i'm one of those talking back preachers so i want y'all to talk back to me as we look at the word of god genesis chapter 2 and meet me at verse number 15. if you have it say amen the bible says then the lord god took the man and put him in the garden of eden to ten and to keep it and the lord god commanded the man sand of every tree of the garden you may freely eat but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ye shall not eat for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die and the lord god said is it not it is not good that man should be alone i will make him a helper suitable to him out of the ground the lord god formed every beast of the field every bird of the air and brought them to adam to see what he called them and whatever adam called each living creature that was its name so adam gave names to all cattle to the birds of the air and to every beast of the field but for adam there was not found a helper suitable to him and the lord god caused a deep sleep to fall on adam and he slept and he took one of his ribs and clothed up the flesh in his place then the reel which the lord god had taken from man he made into a woman and he brought her to the man and adam said this is now bone of my bones flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined unto his wife and they too shall be one flesh and they were both naked and the man and his wife and were not ashamed for just a few minutes this morning i want to talk to us from the subject taking back your home taking taking back your your home you may be seated in the presence of the lord taking taking back your your home uh brothers and sisters in christ friends and family this morning as we begin to study the word of god i will have us to know and have us to understand as the people of god and as the children of god that family is extremely important to the lord i i want us to understand as the people of god and as the children of god that when god looks at family family is extremely important to him i know i'm right about it because i read somewhere where the bible says honor thy father and mother that thou mays live long on the earth that that i recognize that family is extremely important to god because i read somewhere where the bible says children obey your parents in the lord for this is right so family is extremely important to god where i hear scriptures like fathers provoke not your children to wrath but bring them up in the admonition of the lord that that that family is so important to god where paul writes to his son in the gospel timothy by telling timothy that if a man does not take care of his own but especially those of his own household he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel in other words my brothers and my sisters in jesus christ i i want us to understand that the family is important in the eyesight of god however my brothers and my sisters somewhere somehow culture and society has attacked god's family unit some somewhere somehow what family what society and culture has done it has tried to redefine what god has already defined uh in other words we live in a culture we live in a society that has tried to redefine what god himself has already defined in other words what god has called marriage between a man and a woman culture has tried to redefine it between two men and two women i wish i had some help in this place that that that what god has called family the culture has tried to redefine it that that in our society and our culture and in our world it has tried to make us look at family differently than the way god has ushered us to live to look at family understand that in our culture in our society they will tell you you won't not discipline your child by spanking them they y'all just put them in the corner just take away some stuff from her amen but i read somewhere that foolishness is bound up in a child but the rod of correction amen would drive it out of them i wish i had some old school parents that that understand that god has a structure when it comes to family i hear paul saying in romans chapter 12 verse number 2 that be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that you can prove that which is perfect and acceptable and perfect will of god in other words it is our job as the people of god as kingdom citizens to shape and mold the world into our image and not allow the world to shape us and mold us into their image so this morning what i want to talk about i want us to understand that although there is an attack on the family and they have tried to redefine what god has already defined that we as people of god who have our own families in this time we need to have in our minds that i'm going to take back my family amen amen if you if you go to go to the dealership and and and buy you a cadillac a 2021 cadillac and and you get that cadillac and you take it home and you got the keys with you and after uh months go by and and some malfunction goes on with the cadillac there is something in the glove department box called a owner's manual and if something goes wrong with your vehicle you don't go down the street to a shade tree mechanic uh but what you do you refer to your owner's manual because of anything that is malfunctioning with your vehicle if there's any trouble going on with your vehicle you go to the roof to the owner's manual and the owner's manual will tell you what to do next in other words lenny and child of god sometimes when there is dysfunction in our home sometimes when there's attack on our family god is looking for us as the people of god and that's the children of god to go to our owner's manual and if we ever go to this owner's manual we'll see what they'll say of the lord and and so and so what i want to do for just a few minutes i i want to see how can we take our family back i mean doing this pandemic families have been under attack since this pandemic culture has tried to reshape and redefine the family and so what we want to do i want to show you three things in the text and i'll be done i want to show us if we're going to take back our families number one we gotta invite god back into the home let me say that again that that that if we ask the children of god if we ask the people of god that if we're going to take back our homes we got to invite god back into the home third time's a charm that that asks the people of god that our families are under attack the culture that we live and society in which we live is trying to attack the family trying to tell us it don't matter but i want us to know if our families are going to get stronger if we're going to take back the home we got to invite god back into the home see the harsh reality we have kicked god out of our homes the harsh reality is culture don't want god on our jobs culture don't want god in our schoolhouse culture don't even want god in america and i know we say god bless america but america ain't blessing god and we ain't we don't even want god in our homes and the reason there is so much dysfunction is because we have kicked god out of our homes i want you to see something in genesis chapter 2 and verse number 15. the bible says the lord god took the man and put him in the garden of eden to ten and to keep it watch this the garden which is on the east side of eden the garden in eating eden i want you to know the garden represents the presence of god if i had time i would show you that i believe that the garden was the first temple that god who came in the guard god planted the garden and god made his presence known in the garden the first family was always in the presence of god the text says he put the man there in the garden which suggests the first man was always in god's presence if i was talking to single sisters i would tell you you don't go look for a man outside the presence of god i will tell you you already still meet him in the presence of god because the first man was in the presence of god but the text says he put him there to cultivate it and to keep it now i need you to see this that god presence was in the guard see i know that's the case because when they sinned and they and they and they hid from god the bible said that was hiding from his presence and could it be that our families are struggling because we got too many families who have not invited god into back into the home we have picked god out of our house it's interesting to me that that that the garden here represents the presence of god it represents that that i need god in my home if my home is gonna get stronger if i'm not going to be influenced by this culture and the society that i reside in then i got to make sure that god is the one who's in my home is interesting i want you to see something that the text says that they're in the garden of eden no wonder psalms 127 and 1 says except the lord builds the house they labor in vain that builds it okay y'all didn't catch that except the lord builds the house they label that vein that builds the third time's a charm except the lord builds the house they labor in vain that building in other words god ought to be the arch you check of your house god ought to be the builder of your house and if you ever decide to add another room to your house without talking to god about your home god says you are building in vain god says i need if i'm going if you're gonna take your home back i want you to know you gotta have me in your home invite god back into your house notice the text says he's the lord god yahweh god what have i told you the problem with our homes is that we want god to be our savior but we don't want him to be our lord the problem is you want him to be your savior but you don't want him to tell you what to do the the harsh reality is that many of us have became spiritual vampires that we want his blood but we don't want his lordship but i want you to know if you're gonna take back your home you gotta have the mentality that he's gonna be the lord and ruler over my life i won't take a job without talking to the lord i won't buy the house without talking to the lord i won't buy the vehicle without talking to the lord because i want him in my prisons our homes are under attack and culture is dictating our homes all because we have not invited god we have kicked him out and we have not invited him back in now but not only that i don't only want to show you that you got to invite god back into the house but watch this if if you're going to take back your home you got to make god's word a priority for your home that here's the harsh reality we have not made god's word priority for our house [Music] see we live in a culture and we live in a society that does not value god's word but if we are going to take back the our house if we're going to take back our homes then we must be the people of god the children of god who makes god's word a priority amen i i want you to know i i know what everybody else is thinking i know that the world will tell you and culture will tell you just do what your heart tell you to do but let me stop to tell you the reason we struggle in our homes because god's word has not been a priority notice what the text says the text says in verse number 16 and the lord god commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden you may freely eat but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ye shall you shall not eat for in that day that you eat of it you shall surely die notice what god does god gives his word to adam god gives his word to the man god gives his word to the husband because it's going to be his responsibility to make god's word a priority and teach his wife and to teach his children can i tell you every man should be the preacher of his own home can i tell you that god is looking for every man who has a wife who has some children you ought to be the preacher of your own household and making god's word the priority i struggle in our culture that when men don't lead the woman will the struggle in our culture is that when god is looking for the man to be the one who know the word to be able to teach his family thus saith the lord but if he don't know it the woman said i got it okay y'all ain't gonna be honest with me uh somebody marry y'all know what i'm talking about when you don't do do what you're supposed to do she'll say i do it okay i remind me of a story of uh of a man who was was gonna take his family out of town to miami he lived in alabama and and and the next day they got in the vehicle and they started driving down the highway and after hours so of the drive all of a sudden his wife grabs the steering wheel and she grabs the steering wheel and they're waving all in the street and he looks at his wife and said what's wrong with you he said don't you see me driving you going to kill us and these children in this car why in the world would you grab the wheel like that she said baby the only reason i grabbed the wheel because you fell asleep at the wheel and because you fell asleep at the wheel i had to grab the wheel to keep us from crashing okay y'all lean in see sometimes in our culture in our world and even in the church sometimes men have fell in this falling asleep at the wheel and when you have falling asleep at the wheel sister girl will say you ain't gonna kill me and she'll grab the wheel that's why you and i as men as hush pants we gotta be able to make god's word a priority oh watch this watch this all scripture it's given by the inspiration of god okay y'all ain't getting happy with me i'm getting happy by myself all scripture is given by the inspiration of god third time's the term all scripture is given by the inspiration of god let me tell you why i get happy right there all scripture is given by the inspiration of god inspiration in its original language means god breathe or god's breath so whenever you make god's word a priority and you allow god read and study the word it's god's way of breathing on you all scripture is given by the inspiration of god y'all gonna get it the reason that you feel depleted in the home and the culture has dictated the family because you have not made god's word a priority and god's word ain't really breathing on you okay the first time we read about god breathing in genesis chapter 2 when god took from the dust and the bible says he breathed inspiration in the breath of life and man became a living soul did you notice what happened when he breathed into man that which was dead became alive all because god breathed it that which was inactive became active all because god breathed into it that which was nothing became something all because god breathed into it listen to me if our families if we're gonna take back our homes we need to take the word of god and allow god's word to breathe on you there are moments and times in my life where i don't know what to do and i don't know how i'm gonna do it but i let god's word breathed on me and so i read scriptures like trust the lord with all the heart and lean not unto your own understanding in all thy ways acknowledge me and i will direct your path it's god breathing on me in moments where i feel like i'm struggling and i don't know what i'm gonna do and where my help gonna come from i read scriptures like the lord is my shepherd and i shall not want to he making me lie down in green pastures he restored my soul he lead me beside the still water for his namesake and yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i shall fear no evil for thou art with me the rod and thy staff comfort me it's god's way of breathing on me in moments in your family when you got more month than money moments in your family when you don't know how you're gonna pay this bill and how you're gonna pay that bill when you pick up the word of god and you read scripture like philippians 4 19 might know my god shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory it's god's way of breathing on you the struggle becomes you and i oftentimes we don't make god's word a priority for the home but when you make god's word a priority for your home you can take your home back you can say what did god say about it anybody ever watch coming to america the first one not the second one bless the name of jesus uh the first one not the second one and you remember where they was trying to i think his name was rakeem they were trying to marry him off and the first one the woman came in there he was trying to question her and she said what type of food you like whatever you like what type of moves you like whatever you like why because because because she says you're gonna be you're gonna be my king you're my ruler you my everything and wouldn't it be great that when we as the people of god take god's word as the priority of our homes that we'll say god whatever you want me to do i'll do it god you just need to speak and i will pay because i gotta make your word a priority in my life and when i make your word a priority in my life this family will be stronger strong families equal strong churches when the family is weak the church is weak he says what i want you to do make god's word a priority because when the husband becomes the house band the the house band does the same thing a rubber band does and that's to hold the house together and when the house ban the husband make god's word a priority he already know what god wanted him to do he's a covering for the home he protects the home but the word of god is what he stands on now watch this if i'm going to take back my home number one you gotta invite god back into the home if i'm gonna take back the home number two you gotta make god's word a priority for the home but thirdly if you're gonna take back the home don't take for granted god provision for the home okay that god when he created the god of eden god provided a provision for that house that will be able to bless the house in other words god says for this home i'm going to provide some provision i want to give you a different outlook watch this look at genesis 2 and notice what it says in verse 18 and the lord god said it is not good that man should be alone is that in your bible it is not good for man to be alone i will make him a helper suitable for him do you see the provision for the house it's not good for man to be alone what man the man who makes god's word a priority the man who already know who he is because he's created in the image of god it is not good for that man to be alone but if a man ain't got no god in them if a man don't know god's word single sisters it's good for that man to be alone but when a man knows the word know who he is got god inside of him it's not good for that man to be alone notice watch the provision for the house i'm going to make him a suitable helper watch the provision didn't say it what good god said it's not good because i got you in the garden to do something if i had time i really would tell you every man should have his own garden if i had time i would tell you it was the man was working before he had a woman if i had time i would show you there was work then woman not a woman didn't work but they ain't my damn i didn't want to do that in he said it's not good for man to be alone i'm going to make him a helper now i understand that this word helper is not suggesting child of god uh like a little assistance they were talking about uh it it it's not it's not suggesting that the woman is just going to be a little assistance to pass him tools no no no no no no think what they're suggesting that that i want you to know the reason why the husband got can't take the provision for the for the home for granted because i'm gonna make you a helper now it's interesting this hebrew word helper it's a word called izer can y'all say izzer it's the word izzer the word is means lifesaver the word izer means rescuer oh my god the word is means savior okay it's interesting to me that god will call the first woman because there are other times about 20 something times in the old testament that we hear the word isr but never again is it referred to as a woman the other times we hear the word izzer is referred to as god okay y'all don't believe me in due to romans chapter 33 verse 26 it says blessed are you o israel who is like you o the people saved by the lord he is your seal and your helper or isr and your glorious ward it is psalms 12 121 and 1-2 i i will look uh my eyes to the heel where does my help comes from my help comes from the lord the maker of heaven and earth in psalms through 2 may the lord answer you when you are in distress may the name of the god of jacob protect you may he send you help i want you to notice something god uses the name that he referred to himself but he calls the woman an israel okay y'all missed it god so forth that the woman was so important for the home that she's not just like a little assistance she brings something to the house that the man can bring to the house i wish i had more emails than that in other words the woman the issuer the rescuer the lifesaver she comes in to help you to get out of stuff you ain't supposed to be in see see in our culture we live in a culture that sometimes try to portray the woman as somebody who's a second citizens in the home but i'm suggesting from the word of god that god provided provision for the home and the woman is an issue she can bring something to the house that the man can't bring in other words have you ever as a husband have you ever made a decision for the house and you know your wife told you we're supposed to do that and you decide to do it anyway and she had to come along and be a lifesaver because god provided her with stuff he didn't provide you with she's a answer he said it's not good but she's a suitable helper which means y'all are different but yet the same y'all follow that your hands your right and left hand is similar but they different suitable helper in other words you can do a lot with one of your hands but you can do a whole lot more if both don't work together the wife isn't israel the wife is you are more than what the culture say you are you are so important to that home because here's the thing i know about the woman god formed her in such a way god created her in such a way that when you got your garden she's there to help you and to bring a strength to the guard sometimes men get frustrated with the woman because she come with all this equipment to help but you ain't got nothing to help with because whatever you give a woman she'll multiply so says y'all better say amen see see you give a woman a c she'll give you a baby you give a woman a house she'll make you a home you give a woman grocery she'll cook you dinner you give her trouble she'll give you hell whatever whatever whatever you give a woman she multiplies it god equipped the woman in such a way that god says she's provisioned for the home see see this morning i want to know how many of us want to make the decision i'm going to take back my home some some some some marriages some mothers and some fathers say man culture has been dictating my house culture has taken over my home so god what i'm gonna make a decision today and what i'm going to do i have kicked you out god i've been making decisions i ain't even talking to you about it i've been doing stuff and i even inquired you about it but today is the day i'm gonna take my home back i'm gonna invite you back god into my house today is the day god i'm gonna make your word a priority that hey listen just find your verse every listen every morning what i want to do with my family god i'm going every morning i'm gonna get up we're gonna read a passage we're gonna read one verse we're gonna pray over my home because god i need to make your word a priority could it be your family is struggling and dying because you have not taken the word of god serious in your life you can take back your home today and say god i'm sorry maybe you have not been you took for granted to provision god gave you a great wife god gave you a wonderful wife but you looked at her it's not as provision but a hindrance she has so much to offer to the home that can bless the home and god says today i want you to know you can take your home back i think it's interesting that peter says husbands dwell with your wife according to knowledge to dwell with her to live with her according to knowledge in order to dwell with her you got to know her see the woman is not just physical she's spiritual and psychological so i gotta know every aspect of her dwell with her according to knowledge for y'all are heirs together you see that y'all are partners together for the grace of life then you tell the husband do that don't mistreat her so your prayers won't be hindered could it be that sometimes we have as husbands we have took the provision for the house for granted the wife and the prayers i hindered because you know instead of you treating her like fine china you treating her like a paper plate and he says she's my is her she's a part of me and i'm not gonna hear you hear you until you stop taking that woman for granted who needs to take their home back who need to say god i'm sorry god i'm sorry the family unit is so important but i have a loud culture i have allowed society to dictate what god has said about the family and maybe you're here this morning your husband your wife your children will you make a decision this morning to say i'm gonna take my home back will you make a decision this morning to say today is gonna be different this is the day i'm gonna make a decision to do something different because of the attack on our family um if you're here and you're not a christian you have not named the name of christ let me tell you what you do to become one you become a christian by hearing the gospel of jesus christ hearing the gospel and believing the gospel believing that he died for your sins so that you may have a right to the truth like do you remember do you believe that will you repent of your sins and say i'm going to have a change of mind i'm coming to the lord repentance is not a change of behavior it's a change of mind confess that jesus is lord said i do believe that jesus the christ is the son of god and then be willing to be baptized in water for the remission of your sins jesus says he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved he that believeth not shall be down and and and and maybe you're here and you're you're struggling you're dealing with some stuff right now i'm here you need to come to god say god i need help with my family we don't have it all together we are under attack culture and society and the enemy has attacked the family unit and because of the attack god i'm making the decision today i need you in my home i'll make a priority to make the word of god my priority but i ain't gonna take the provision for granted that he put inside the household if if you are if you are subject to the lord's invitation if you need prayer for your family would you come right now would you come right now as together we stand would you come would you come without you lord [Music] [Music] the lord is trying to save [Music] [Music] you can't make it without [Music] great message this

message we thank you so much for your your ability and we thank you for your talent again we we need to take back our families and that is so true that strong families make strong churches weak

have us to go in the end we give you all the praise all the glory and all the honor this we have some crisis holding a righteous name amen dr haywood we want to thank brother trey for a great message let's give him a round of applause as he walked through the hallways of the book of genesis and gave us some really powerful points in line with coming to america i was about to tell you like yo man don't mess with that point like that's a good one and it was good it was good we just appreciate what he said about the word of god being priority in the home i think many times we like to make everything else a standard in the home but not the word of god and if you really want to get back to a solid space in any family dynamic there can be no submission to each other until their submission to god and when we get god back as the as the sovereign of the home then everything lines back up and we just thank god for a mighty word by brother trey covet 19 testing and vaccination september the
