If boundaries aren’t defined, dysfunction will define them for you. In this week’s message from the Family Matters sermon series, Scripture reframes boundaries as far more than self-protection. Boundaries are a way of honoring God and putting what He has for you ahead of what others want from you, with the clarity and courage to name it, set it, and live it.
In real families, workplaces, and church communities, unity rarely happens by accident, especially when people bring different histories, expectations, and wounds into the same space. This message from the Family Matters series walks through Colossians 3 with a simple goal: creating relationships where grace is stronger than tension, love is louder than criticism, and peace becomes the standard instead of the exception. If conflict has started to feel normal, this is an invitation to build something healthier, step by step.
Nobody actually likes being uncomfortable. But if we want to see growth in our lives and our families, we can’t stay in the “comfort zone” forever. This week, we continue our Family Matters series with a powerful message from guest speaker Scott Harrop. Scott reminds us that those “growing pains” we feel in our relationships and our faith aren’t just obstacles – they’re a vital part of the spiritual journey God has for us.
Often, relationships with children, grandchildren, or even employees are approached as though the goal is behavior management. The scriptural aim is not control, but to reflect the heart of God. In this message, Pastor Josh reminds us that connection must precede correction so we can ensure discipline focuses on restoration, growth, and a clearer picture of who God is.
