270: When God Builds a Family for His Church and His Glory

What does it really look like for the Lord to build a home?

In this episode, Pastor Jeff continues the "Family God's Way" series by exploring three essential pillars of a God-built household: His Purpose, His Church, and His Glory.

Drawing from 1 Peter 2:9–10, Ephesians 1:22 23, and Colossians 1:18, we discover that:

• We are not just families—we are God's people, redeemed to proclaim His praises.

• We were never designed to grow alone—God shapes marriages and families through His church, the fullness of Christ.

• Above all, the Christian home exists for His glory, that Christ may have the preeminence in all things.

Pastor Jeff unpacks how these truths transform everyday family life, calling husbands, wives, parents, and children to live with a higher purpose than personal comfort or cultural ideals. When God's purposes guide the home, when the church supports and strengthens it, and when Christ is exalted above all, the household becomes a living testimony of His grace.

If you long for a marriage and family shaped not by self-interest but by Scripture, this episode will encourage, challenge, and refocus your heart on the One who builds the home.
