INTRODUCTION:

1A PICTURE OF A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE WITHIN A COMMUNITY

Bacoor is known to be bedroom community of Metro Manila. It is a place filled with housing units and
subdivisions. And if there is anything that many Filipinos would dream of having, it is having their own house.

TS: ELABORATE FIRST ON THE QUALITIES OF A GREAT HOUSE

• 1B Facade
• 1C Amenities
• 1D Market Value
• 1E Impressiveness
• 1F Location
• 1G Yard

TS: 2A What will transform a House into a Home? It is no other than but the 2B P.O.G.I.
2C Presence of God Inside.

TITLE: WHAT ARE YOU 5 BUILDING A HOUSE OR A HOME?

6A Psalms 127:1a ISV

Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor uselessly.
HIGHLIGHT 6B house

A HOUSE is significant because

• It can provide 6C SHELTER – where we run to from attack (takbuhan kapag may kaaway)
• It can provide 6D SAFETY – where we safe and sound (takbuhan sa panahon ng bagyo)
• It can provide 6E SECURITY – where we feel PROTECTION
• It can provide a 6F SANCTUARY – PRESERVATION

TS: Sadly, what supposed to be

• A PLACE OF SHELTER has become a place of 6G TURMOIL,
• A PLACE SAFETY has become a place of 6H TROUBLE,
• A PLACE SECURITY has become a place of 6I TRAGEDY,
• AND A PLACE SANCTUARY has become a place of 6J TRAUMA.

ANONG PROBLEMA NI MOMMY AT DADDY, PERA
7D ABUSE – (PHYSICAL, VERBAL, EMOTIONAL, SEXUAL)

7F INFEDILITY – (PARENTS ARE NOT LIVING TOGETHER, SINGLE PARENT)
7G LOSS OF LOVEONE - ORPHAN, WIDOW
7H YOUTH ADDICTION AND PREGNANCIES

TS: The Bible is filled with stories of families in turmoil, trouble, tragedy and trauma

• Adam and Eve sinned, and Adam responded by blaming his wife, they had all it but lost it all.
• They parented two male children, and one of the sons killed the other.
• Abraham, God’s chosen man, married two wives, breaking God’s design, and he eventually kicked one
wife and her child out of the house.
• David too espoused many wives and his son raped his sister.
• Then the daughter’s brother, Absalom, killed the son that raped her.

9C #1 RIGHT PLAN

10A Psalms 78:5-6 ESV

5
He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to
their children, 6 that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to
their children,
HIGHLIGHT 10B fathers; 10C their children; 10D the children yet unborn; 10E to their children

HIGHLIGHT 10F TO T.E.A.C.H. IS NOT JUST ABOUT TELLING, IT IS ABOUT TAKING

• 10G TIME
• 10H EXAMPLES
Illustration – A mother was trying to teach her little daughter to say ‘thank you’ when receiving a gift. After
instructing her, she gave her a glass of milk and asked, ‘Now, what should baby say?’ The daughter raised her
glass and said, ‘Cheers’!

Children will follow our example!

We do this with hope that it will create a huge impact to every families not only of today but in the future.

Max Jukes’ descendants included: 7 murderers, 60 thieves, 50 women of debauchery, 130 other
convicts. 310 paupers (with over 2,300 years lived in poorhouses) 400 who were physically wrecked by
indulgent living.

It was estimated that Max Juke’s descendants cost the state more than $1,250,000.

TS: IN BUILDING UP, YOU NEED NOT ONLY A PLAN BUT YOU ALSO NEED A GOOD PIECES.

14 PICTURE OF THREE LITTLE PIGS, WE NEED

15A #2 RIGHT PIECES

Build on something that is not cheap, in choosing a product we normally ask, MADE IN WHAT?

15B Isaiah 40:8 ESV

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.

Having the RIGHT MATERIALS is not enough, you must use the RIGHT MATERIALS. (Parang yang
gamot wala yang bisa kung di mo din lang iinumin.)

16A Matthew 7:24-25 CEV

24
Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock. 25
Rain poured down, rivers flooded, and winds beat against that house. But it did not fall, because it was built on
solid rock.
HIGHLIGHT 16B hears and obeys these teachings

CONCLUSION:

As I have said in the beginning the Bible is filled with stories of 18A DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES.

TS: (put these words around) 18B RUINED, 18C BROKEN, 18D IMPAIRED OR 18E MESSED UP
FAMILIES just like yours and mine.

TS: But if you will partner with God, allowing Him to be the center of our DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES

19A “DYSFUNCTIONAL”
TS: NO MATTER HOW RUINED, BROKEN, IMPAIRED OR MESSED UP IS OUR FAMILY, WE WILL
EXPERIENCE (HIGHLIGHT 19B F.U.N. IN THE WORD “DYSFUNCTIONAL”

19E Nails at the CROSS

 Though Abraham married two wives, breaking God’s design, and he eventually kicked one wife and her
child out of the house was still called the father of many nations.
 David too espoused many wives and his son raped his sister was still called the Man after God’s own
heart.

Christ is a GREAT HOMEBUILDER.

Is your home in trouble right now? Come let Christ build it.

Is your home doing well right now because of Christ? Come let your home build a better a Church and
Community for tomorrow.
