God’s Blueprint for Home: A Safe Place Where Faith Grows

God’s Blueprint for Home: A Safe Place Where Faith Grows

Sean Vickers

This week in our series God’s Blueprint for Home, we look at Deuteronomy 6:5–9 and 1 John 2:12–14 to discover God’s design for the home as “A Safe Place Where Faith Grows.”

In a world where spiritual growth is often neglected or outsourced, Scripture reminds us that the home is God’s primary place for discipleship. Parents are called to intentionally lead their families toward Christ while the church comes alongside to encourage and equip.

This message explores how:

  • spiritual children need the Gospel and faith,
  • young men and women need Scripture and surrender,
  • and spiritual mothers and fathers are called to wisdom and legacy.

Whether you are a parent, grandparent, graduate, or young believer, this message offers biblical encouragement and practical “Home Builders” for creating a Christ-centered home where every generation can grow toward spiritual maturity.

Alive in Christ: Living in Resurrected Life
1 Corinthians 15:50–58

What does it mean to truly live after the resurrection? In this final message of the Alive in Christ series, we bring everything together by focusing on the victory Jesus secured over sin and death—and what that means for us today.

Because Christ is risen, believers are not only made alive, but are called to live with confidence, purpose, and hope. This passage reminds us that death is not the end, victory is already won, and our lives now matter for eternity.

As we conclude the series and gather around the Lord’s Table, we are invited to respond—standing firm in our faith, remembering Christ’s sacrifice, and committing ourselves to live fully alive in Him.

Alive in Christ:  Raised with Him

What does it really mean to be alive in Christ?

In Romans 6:1–14, we discover that salvation is not just about being forgiven—it’s about being changed. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we are set free from sin’s power and given a brand new life.

This message will challenge you to leave behind the “grave clothes” of your old life and step fully into who you are in Christ.

You’ve been raised with Him—now it’s time to live like it.

Palm Sunday Opener Chuck Norris

Palm Sunday Opener Chuck Norris

Sean Vickers

The world recently lost one of its most iconic heroes, Chuck Norris, in his memory here are some Chuck Norris jokes.

1.     Chuck Norris doesn’t do push-ups. He pushes the Earth down.

2.     When the Boogeyman goes to bed, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

3.     Chuck Norris counted to infinity. Twice.

4.     Chuck Norris can unscramble an egg.

5.     Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.

6.     Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.

7.     Death once had a near-Chuck-Norris experience.

We laugh at those Chuck Norris jokes—how tough he is, how nothing can stop him.

But here’s the truth:
Even if Chuck Norris could throw a roundhouse kick at death…
he still couldn’t defeat it.

 

Because no matter how strong you are…
no matter how powerful you seem…
death always wins.

 

PAUSE

 

Except for One.

Jesus is the only One that can tell death No by raising the dead. He is the only one who defeated death, hell and the grave.

Jesus didn’t just face death—
He walked out of the grave.

 

And He says,
“I am the resurrection and the life.”
