Focus on the Family (October 12, 2025)

Genesis 17:6 “I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come from you.”

This is part of the promises that God gave to Abraham as a part of the Abrahamic Covenant. Because of the faithfulness of Abraham, the promises were fulfilled. Yes, Abraham did things he shouldn’t have (HE WAS HUMAN!), but in the end, his faithfulness in God prevailed and the promises were fulfilled.

You and I need to have a Desire for our families to be saved and IN CHURCH!

• We need to follow the formula – strip off the sins that enslave the emotions and tongue.

Colossians 3:8–10 ~ “But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.”

• Be real! (When our plans fail, put those to the side and Trust in God!)

Acts 13:22 ~ “And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’”

• Earn the Right to be Heard. Are you shining your light or turning it off?

Matthew 5:16 ~ “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

• Be a Friend. Go beyond what is called of you to do.

Matthew 5:41 ~ “And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.”

• Love them into the Kingdom.

1 Corinthians 13:8 ~ “Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.”

• Never Give Up

Philippians 3:14 ~ “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
