Restoring God’s Plan for the Family (11). Reclaiming Our Families
Many of us are busy fighting battles outside our homes. We expend time, energy, and emotions at our workplaces and businesses to secure a better future for our families. But if we’re not careful, we might fail to fight the more important battles happening right at our doorsteps.
David experienced this; while he was away, his loved ones were attacked and captured by the enemy (1 Samuel 30:1-20).
In this week’s message, Ptr. Genesis Tan shares David’s experience and shows us how, in his distress, David constantly sought God in prayer and tirelessly pursued the enemy. With God on his side, David was able to reclaim his family.
