If we want to have strong and healthy families and relationships, we have to become healthier ourselves by seeking God’s healing in our own lives. As our families become healthier together, our households can become places of joy, kindness, and hope for a weary world.

Broken relationships are painful, but repair is possible. Repair is a process that takes significant effort, but when we’re both willing to make that effort, with God’s help, we can experience the joy of reconciliation.

Every relationship is built on commitment, but not commitment in general. There are four specific commitments every relationship needs, and you can learn to make those commitments and have better relationships.

Character matters in all of our relationships, from our family rooms to our bedrooms to our boardrooms. Your character matters and so does the character of the people you choose to trust.

Family matters, and no family works without trust. Trust is the fuel that drives every relationship. When trust is broken, repairing it is difficult. When we can learn to build, strengthen, and repair trust in our relationships, we can experience lasting joy.

Solitude was once our default state when other people weren’t around. Now it’s nearly extinct. With distraction always easily at hand, we are losing the ability to endure uncomfortable emotions. Jesus models for us a healthy rhythm of engaging with people and withdrawing for solitude. When we regularly engage the practice of solitude, we become spiritually healthier and better able to love and serve our neighbors.

Our lives are growing more and more complex, and we are growing more and more disconnected from the things that make us human. To simplify our lives, we have to reconnect with what it means to be part of God’s good creation.

We all face wilderness moments in our lives, but when we open ourselves to God in those moments, we can be transformed.

Sometimes, as we try to live a new life of freedom, it’s harder than we thought. Our new life of liberation can feel like a barren wilderness.

We have two types of problems in our lives: inside and outside. We tend to focus on the outside problems, like job loss, relationship struggle, or political crisis, but we would be wise to pay at least equal attention to our inside problems, like anger, greed, and self-indulgence. When we invite God’s healing into these parts of our lives, we can experience salvation and wholeness right now.

In our desire to create the best possible life for ourselves and our families, we often struggle to make every moment a peak moment. Yet if we want more memorable moments in our lives, the most important thing we can do is simply to be present in the everyday moments of our lives.

The suffering of innocent people can be profoundly troubling, and it can be a significant source of doubt. Often, well-meaning people offer explanations for suffering that aren’t actually helpful and are sometimes even harmful. But God does not want anyone to suffer. While we will face suffering in this world, we can trust that God will always be with us in the midst of it.

We have heard the God answers prayer, but most of us have also felt the pain of praying for something that didn’t happen, and it can lead us to question God’s goodness. In this message, Pastor Robert explores how we can wrestle with unanswered prayer.
