How dare you talk to me that way! You're so ungrateful and selfish!

It's not what you said, it's the way you said it!

You never listen to me! That's because you never shut up!

Can't you keep that baby quiet?

You can't tell me who I can and cannot date, say out of my life!

I can understand why your upset. God has always helped us.

I know we can work this out.

Hey, welcome to Day 2, all of our churches and our network churches and those of you from countries around the world at church online.

Today, we're in the third week, a four-week teaching series called Bless This Home.

If you're just now joining us, what we're doing is we're looking at the teachings of Jesus in Matthew chapter 5

in a section that's known as the Beatitudes, where Jesus gave us eight different directions for those who would be blessed.

Now, Jesus was talking to everybody, but what we're doing for the purpose of our study is we're applying the Beatitudes to our homes.

Bless this home, because honestly, so many homes today are not as blessed, I believe, as God would want them to be.

The first week we looked at the Beatitudes, blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled.

Last week, we looked at the very powerful words, blessed are the pure and heart for they will see God.

Next week is my personal favorite of the four messages for families, blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of God.

Today, what I want to do is I want to talk about peace in the home, because honestly, so many of our homes are not characterized as homes of peace.

Instead, if you look at our homes, you would have to say they're characterized by conflict or by tension or by strife, and I believe that God has something way better for us, that he wants our homes to be characterized as homes of peace.

Now, some of you may say, okay, you're talking to me, my home's got a lot of dysfunction in it, but most of it's not my fault.

And the reality is that may be true, because every home has an incredibly difficult family member.

Every family, if you look somewhere, maybe not in your home, but in your extended family member, everyone has a psycho difficult to deal with.

It's a spiritual principle, right? I just to prove that every family has a psycho, all of our churches, those of you who say somewhere in my family, there is a psycho difficult person, raise your hands up right now.
