When home isn’t so sweet

About this message
Jeff Boyer – May 17, 2026
Home is more than a place—it’s a commitment. In a world where schedules are full and relationships are stretched thin, God calls us to build homes marked by intentional faith, deep connection, and spiritual leadership.
This four-week series challenges us to establish Christ as the center of our homes, to lead with conviction, and to shape the next generation through prayer, blessing, and example. Because what happens in our homes shapes what happens in the world.
Home was designed to be a place of peace, but sin turned it into a place of pain. In Genesis 3, we see the first fracture! Blame, shame, and hiding enter the human story, and they didn’t stay in the garden, they moved into every home.
By the time we get to 2 Samuel 18, David’s household is unraveling: rebellion, betrayal, and heartbreak between a father and son. The truth is hard but honest: nobody can wound us like family. Yet even in the wreckage, God is not absent.
In today’s message, Pastor Jeff confronts the reality of family pain while pointing to the hope that God meets us in it, heals what’s broken, and can rewrite the story of our homes. Your home may not feel sweet right now, but it’s not beyond redemption.
