In one his strongest teachings to families, the Apostle Paul speaks heavy truth to wives, husbands, kids, and fathers. And his three major themes are: submission, love, and obedience. Seriously? Submission? This idea doesn't seem to fit at all in our cultural moment. But what if instead of a curse, all three of these concepts are designed to release blessing into our families? What if instead of death, they release the lives we've longed for? Join us for this surprising conversation, as we explore fresh ways to bring faith in Jesus into our family relationships.

"Multiply" has been a transformative series of messages, diving deep into God’s instructions to "Be fruitful and multiply." We’ve discovered that these four words are the key to living in God’s blessing! And today, we find that they also answer life’s biggest questions: Who am I, and why am I here — addressing these major issues of our identity and purpose. We also go back to the image of "The Giving Room," learning how we can measure our generosity the same way God does (and it has nothing to do with the amount we give!). Ready for a radical change? Take the 90-day challenge to elevate your generosity and watch how God uses you to transform lives.

Pastor Mike explains how the cycle of God’s blessing brings numerous benefits and emphasizes that our response to the enemy’s attempts to undermine these blessings should be one of joyful resistance. By embracing these practices, we uphold the cycle of blessings and counter the enemy’s efforts to diminish our joy.

God’s Kingdom runs on the fuel of generosity. When we give, we ignite the potential for God's work to reach new places and people. And what if there was a space where we could measure and expand our generosity? Welcome to "The Giving Room." Here, we’re not comparing our giving to others, but aligning it with God’s calling to activate divine transformation in our city, nation, and world. Today, just as in the time of Jesus, we can fuel ministry through our giving. Let's unleash the power of generosity to advance God's Kingdom. #generosity #godsblessing #thegivingroom Click here to download the notes for this message: https://bit.ly/SM4-Multiply-6
