House of Wisdom - Extreme Makeover ~ Home Edition

Through wisdom a house is built,
And by understanding it is established;
By knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
- Proverbs 24:3-4

Sermon in a sentence
Begin to believe that the Kingdom of God can come in such a way that your heart, your home, and your household can become a haven on earth.

Jesus answered and said to him,
“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.”
John 14:23

Haven
A harbor or an anchorage; a port.
A place of refuge or rest; a sanctuary.

Heart Hope
The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17

Kingdom Intentions

• Physically
• Traditionally
• Spiritually
• Maritally

Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet home,
A tabernacle that will not be taken down;
Not one of its stakes will ever be removed,
Nor will any of its cords be broken.
But there the majestic LORD will be for a place of broad rivers and streams
Isaiah 33:20-21

Building Families
The family is the place to:

1. Establish identity and security.
2. Teach and transmit values.
3. Make and store lifetime memories.
4. Develop hidden talents and potentials.
5. Learn how to love and forgive.
6. Grow in a safe environment.
7. Learn honesty and transparency.
8. Fail without criticism or condemnation.
9. Hide during the storms of life.
10. Experience the kingdom of God in action.
11. Translate Scripture into living realities.
12. Establish a command center for safety to bring the Kingdom of God to a lost world.

The family is the foundation for Godly seed, the demonstration of Divine agreement, and is sealed by blood covenant!

The Mystery in Marriage - “One Flesh”

• Genesis 2:18-25 -- All was proclaimed as "Good" in God's creation except one thing.
  • Vs 18 - Man being alone.
• Relationships; the only things we take into eternity.
  • Only your relationship with God
  • Your relationship with others.
• Intimacy
  • [Latin intimre, to make known, from intimus, innermost.]

What is “One Flesh”?

• Commitment
• Mutual love
• Sexual union
• Nurturing
• Matthew 19:5 "But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. "For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and the two shall become ONE FLESH; consequently they are no longer two, but one flesh. "What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."“
• A permanent bonding God intended, not just a temporary agreement.
