We all have wishes: a beautiful family, good health, a fulfilling life. But no wish, however sincere, changes a reality unless it is accompanied by concrete actions.
What does the Bible say about family?
Family runs through the whole Bible: the first place where faith is passed on — "impress them on your children" (Deuteronomy 6:7) —, a place of commitment — "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15) —, and a place where everyone is called to love: parents without exasperating, children with honor, spouses with self-giving.
The sermon summaries here speak of marriage, parenting, passing on the faith, and freedom within families — including when the family story is complicated. Each summary distils a teaching with its key verses and links back to the original video.
Bible verses about "Family"
« If it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose today whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh.” »
« and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. »

Frequently asked questions about "Family"
How do I pass on faith to my children?
Deuteronomy 6:7 describes transmission woven into daily life: "when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Faith is passed on less through speeches than through a consistent life shared day after day.
What does the Bible say about the role of parents?
Ephesians 6:4 holds both ends: raise children "in the training and instruction of the Lord" without exasperating them. Biblical parental authority serves the child's growth, never their crushing.
Can a broken family be restored?
The Bible is full of complicated families that God restores and uses. Forgiveness, truth spoken in love, and time make real reconciliation possible. Several sermons on this page address freedom and healing at the heart of families.
