Matthew 5:1-2, 6, Psalm 63:1
How many
of you want your home to be blessed? In Matthew 5, Jesus presents us with a
clear direct map for blessings in our lives and our families. During the Sermon
on the Mount, Jesus gives us a number of qualities that if we adopt as our own,
we would be blessed. The list is simple, but not simplistic. There are no
mysteries, but there are no shortcuts either. In adopting them as ours, we move
from a home that believes in Christ to a Christ-centered home.
Based on
how you currently spend your time and resources, what does your home hunger
for?
What steps
might you need to take to create a stronger hunger for God in your home?
How have
you seen legalistic or lukewarm Christianity in your family? How has that
affected your family?
What do
you think being a Christ-centered home looks like for your family?
Are you
involving God in your daily conversations with your family? Why
or why not?
