There was once a poll of the American people asking, “What is your greatest source of emotional support and satisfaction?” Answer: “My family.” Nothing else came close. The next question was, “What is your greatest source of emotional turmoil?” Answer: “My family.” Again, nothing else came close. Families bring us our highest highs and our lowest lows. Jesus was born into the bittersweet complexities of a human family. If you’ve ever wondered if God knows the struggles of family life, the answer is yes. Discover the bonding power of family life. New series starts next Sunday.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God. — Philippians 1:9 –11
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. —Matthew 5:14–16

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. — 2 Peter 1:5–7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. —1 Corinthians 13:4–7

Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed,you can say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. — Matthew 17:20
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. —Romans 8:38–39
