There is More Week 4- Family
Ephesians 3:20  Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.
 
“Is this all there is to life?”

“ne plus ultra”— Latin phrase meaning “no more beyond.”

“NEVER BUY CLOTHES FROM A NAKED MAN”

GOD HAS PUT A “PLUS ULTRA” FOR YOU & YOUR FAMILY

DESTINY

YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR DESTINY

BE THE OAK TREE

ADAM & EVE Genesis 1:28 - "God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.

CAIN & ABLE – “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

ABRAHAM – a call to FAMILY. (Gen 12)

JOSHUA 24:15 – “…choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, …But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
 
PROVERBS 11:29 – He who troubles his own family will end up with a fistful of air; common sense tells you it’s a stupid way to live.

 
IT’S NEVER TOO LATE

WHO’S IS IN YOUR FAMILY CIRCLE?

MARK 3:31-33

Then Jesus’ mother and his brothers came and stood outside and sent a message to him, asking that he come out and speak with them. When the crowd sitting around Jesus heard this, they spoke up, and said to him, “Jesus, your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”

He answered them saying, “Who is my true mother and my true brothers?” Then looking in the eyes of those who were sitting in a circle around him, he said, “Here are my true family members. For whoever does the will of God is my brother, my sister, and my mother!”

In loving the spiritual, you cannot despise the earthly.

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek

FINAL POINT: MAKE ROOM FOR “MORE” IN YOUR FAMILY 

GOD HEARS YOUR CRY FOR MORE
THE STORY OF ABRAHAM – HAGAR – ISHMAEL

One day Sarah saw the son that Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham, poking fun at her son Isaac. She told Abraham, “Get rid of this slave woman and her son. No child of this slave is going to share inheritance with my son Isaac!”

The matter gave great pain to Abraham—after all, Ishmael was his son. But God spoke to Abraham, “Don’t feel badly about the boy and your maid. Do whatever Sarah tells you. Your descendants will come through Isaac. Regarding your maid’s son, be assured that I’ll also develop a great nation from him—he’s your son, too.”

Abraham got up early the next morning, got some food together and a canteen of water for Hagar, put them on her back and sent her away with the child. She wandered off into the desert of Beersheba. When the water was gone, she left the child under a shrub and went off, fifty yards or so. She said, “I can’t watch my son die.” As she sat, she broke into sobs.

Meanwhile, God heard the boy crying. The angel of God called from Heaven to Hagar, “What’s wrong, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. God has heard the boy and knows the fix he’s in. Up now; go get the boy. Hold him tight. I’m going to make of him a great nation.” (THERES MORE FOR HIM)

Just then God opened her eyes. She looked. She saw a well of water. She went to it and filled her canteen and gave the boy a long, cool drink. God was on the boy’s side as he grew up. He lived out in the desert and became a skilled archer.
