A Family Built on Christ
March 22, 2026
What does it mean to build a house that lasts? In this special baby dedication message, we dive into Psalm 127 to discover that children are not just "blessings" to be kept—they are arrows meant to be prepared and released into a dark world.
Whether you are currently raising children, a grandparent, or someone called to mentor the next generation, this message challenges us to evaluate our foundations. It isn’t the church’s youth programs or the school’s curriculum that should be the primary spiritual influence on a child; it is the consistent, godly character lived out by parents and mentors behind closed doors.
Reflection Questions
Is your home built on your own anxious toil and busy schedules, or on the peace and provision of the Lord?
If your children or grandchildren followed your spiritual example exactly, where would they end up?
How can you practically begin teaching the next generation to use the "Sword of the Spirit" (the Bible) to find their own answers?
