Family Summer Series: Unity In Blended Families

In our exploration of unity within blended families, we delve into the profound story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar from Genesis 16 and 21. This narrative serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges and opportunities that arise when families merge. We're called to guard against three key threats to unity: contempt, mistreatment, and division. By viewing others through Christ's eyes and striving to love as He loves, we can overcome these obstacles. The message emphasizes that unity requires intentional effort, as highlighted in Ephesians 4:3. It challenges us to consider how our actions and attitudes impact not just our immediate family, but potentially generations to come. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to examine our own family dynamics and seek God's guidance in fostering unity, regardless of our family structure.
