The Good FIght (week 1 :: 3.18.12)

All families fight; we just fight in different ways. But regardless of how your family handles disagreements, we can choose what we will fight about. In The Good Fight series, we will begin with the sometimes difficult call to honor our parents, found in Ephesians 6:1. Then we’ll build on that to show that God desires for children and parents to turn their hearts toward each other and have a relationship. In order to have the good relationship with our parents God intends, we have to learn how to change the fight first. We have to stop fighting against “their way” and start fighting for a relationship. That sometimes means surrendering our right to be right and prioritizing relationship regardless of the cost.
