Detail:

Christ's preeminence in the family is seen when we...

1.  Understand it as God's creation.
     The family is...
       A.  Foundational to society.
     Is to be a place where...
       B.  Faith grows.
     And is to be a...
       C.  Fountain of life and well-being.

2.  Follow God's command.
     Children, it means giving your...
       A.  Heart to God first.
     And...
       B.  Honor to your parents.
     Which makes God...
       C.  Happy.

3.  Exercise loving care.
     Parents, it means fulfilling your God-ordained...
       A.  Responsibility.
     And having...
       B.  Realistic expectations.
     And...
       C.  Respecting them as people.
     So that they also may be able to...
       D.  Reflect the glory of God to the world.

4.  Thoughts to consider...
       A.  Parents
              ●  There is no perfect parent.
              ●  Persevere in God's principles.
              ●  Persist in prayer!
       B.  Progeny
              ●  God wants your good (and so do your parents)!
              ●  Give your parents grace.
             And if they were bad parents, don't let that stop you from...
              ●  Going hard after God.
