We're excited for another beautiful Sunday with you! Here are some important facts you'll need to know for Sunday:
Building is the key word in this final message in our family series. Now with every building we must have a solid foundation to build from or else cracks eventually appear. In this message we will take truths from Psalm 127 which teaches us how to build a home God's way. This teaching will give us practical practices to implement to ensure we are building correctly.
Building Healthy Homes
1. God and His word must be the ______________________________ of the family
Psalm 127:1
John 14:6
Joshua 1:8
Proverbs 22:6

Psalm 127:1
3. Family time is ______________________________
Psalm 127:2
4. Our children are on ______________________________
Psalm 127:3
Psalm 127:4
Psalm 127 was our text for Sunday. (Which is one of my favorited Psalms) I covered four
verses but go ahead and read the fifth verse. Read it many times and very slowly to catch things
you might miss. Listen to the voice of the Spirit dropping thoughts into your mind as you allow
God’s word to speak to you. Write down your insights and questions to share with your group.
1. We taught on BUILDING healthy homes. In your “experience” as a parent or as a child
growing up in your home, what have been some key building blocks, in establishing a healthy
home?
2. Psalm 127:1 Obviously a Christian home must be built God’s way otherwise we build in vain.
And vain literally means, “Meaningless.” What are some ways we can lay down a Godly
foundation in our homes to build a meaningful godly home? Explain
3. In Psalm 127:2 the Psalmist who is Solomon is teaching us, from experience, that we must be
wise with our time. Especially when it comes to work and family. How do you specifically
balance work and family time? Explain
4. A curious question. In the first teaching on family in this series I talked about repeat patterns.
How did your parents model the delicate balance between work and family time?
5. Psalm 127:3 having children carries at least two major responsibilities: First they are a gift
from God. Meaning they are on loan to us. Second, they are like arrows. Meaning we are to aim
them in the correct direction. And I know that aiming kids in the right direction is more than just
words, it is by our actions. Our lifestyle. Our beliefs. Here my question: Is there anything you
might need to change to aim them in the God direction? Explain
6. Lastly, read Proverbs 22:6. If you were writing a teaching or a report from this verse how
many points of truth could you pull from it. Write them out. Which one was most important to
you? And share your points with your group or for personal study.
