Title: Family Problems and the Grace of God
Series: The Divine Design (8 of 8)
Primary Scripture: John 1:14-18
Author: Pastor Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to John chapter 1. We want to talk about Family Problems and the Grace of God.
I was reading this morning about a young pastor. He had just gotten married, and everything was good. It was the honeymoon of the church, honeymoon for him and his wife. He was going to preach a sermon on parenting. He didn't have any kids, and he called the sermon Ten Commandments to Raise Perfect Children. And then he had a child, his first child. He preached on parenting again. It was Ten Suggestions to Raise Godly Children. Then he had his second child. Preached on parenting again, Ten Hints on Raising Kids. Then he had his third child, preached on parenting again. He entitled it Help Me, Jesus! As I said last week, parenting isn't for cowards.

We've entitled this series The Divine Design: God's Plan for Marriage and Family. And today, we want to finish it with a message that I've entitled Family Problems and the Grace of God.
John chapter 1, an interesting passage for the family because it really doesn't have anything to do with the family until you look deeper, and it has everything to do with the family. John chapter 1, verse 14.

John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, 'This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me (speaking to the deity of Christ), for of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was given throu ...
