episode If God Isn’t Building Your Family, You’re Wasting Your Time // Psalm 127 // Bobby Gourley cover

Beskrivelse

Psalm 127 gives a clear picture of what it looks like to build a home with God at the center. Parenting without Him leads to frustration, but when He is the foundation, everything changes.This message reframes how we see children—not as interruptions, but as a gift and responsibility. Kids don’t form themselves. They are shaped over time through what they see, hear, and experience. If we’re not intentional, something else will shape them.We’re not just raising kids—we’re aiming their lives. The goal isn’t behavior management, it’s direction. Helping them know God, love people, and live with purpose.And at some point, we release them. Parenting is temporary stewardship. What we build into them will carry forward into places we’ll never go.If you’re raising a family or plan to, this message will help you stay focused on what matters most.Subscribe to the channel for more teachings and updates.#Psalm127 [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/psalm127] #ChristianParenting [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/christianparenting] #RaisingKids [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/raisingkids] #FamilyFaith [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/familyfaith] #BiblicalParenting [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/biblicalparenting] #ParentingWithPurpose [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/parentingwithpurpose] #FaithAtHome [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/faithathome] #NextGeneration [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nextgeneration]

episode How to Bless Your Kids // Mark 10:13-16 // Bobby Gourley cover

How to Bless Your Kids // Mark 10:13-16 // Bobby Gourley

Many parents spend years making sure their children are fed, clothed, educated, and protected. All of those things matter. But when your children are grown, there is a good chance they won't remember every meal you cooked, every bill you paid, or every ride you gave them. They will remember how you made them feel about themselves.Every child is asking questions like: Do I matter? Am I loved? Am I enough? Is there a purpose for my life? And whether we realize it or not, parents answer those questions every day with their words, their actions, and their presence.In Gospel of Mark 10:13 [https://www.youtube.com/live/DVOFopqaERg?t=613s]-16, people bring children to Jesus, and the disciples try to send them away. Jesus is indignant. He pulls the children close, places His hands on them, and blesses them. In a world that often overlooked children, Jesus stopped everything to show their value.This message explores what it means to bless the next generation and why one of the greatest gifts you can give your children isn't money, success, or opportunity—it's a blessing.We'll discover:-- Why followers of Jesus should remove barriers instead of creating them-- What Jesus' response to the children reveals about God's heart-- Why the Kingdom of God belongs to those who come with childlike trust-- How a blessing can shape identity, purpose, and destiny for generationsDrawing from both Scripture and practical wisdom, we'll unpack five elements of a meaningful blessing:-- Meaningful touch-- Spoken words-- Attaching high value-- Picturing a special future-- Active commitmentBecause children don't just need provision. They need affirmation. They need direction. They need someone speaking God's truth over their lives. The words you speak today may become the voice they carry for the rest of their lives.If this message encourages you, subscribe to stay connected and share it with a parent, grandparent, teacher, or mentor who wants to invest in the next generation.#Parenting [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/parenting] #Family [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/family] #BlessYourKids [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/blessyourkids] #ChristianParenting [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/christianparenting] #FaithAtHome [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/faithathome] #Mark10 [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/mark10] #SpiritualLegacy [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/spirituallegacy] #ChurchOnline [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/churchonline] #Jesus [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/jesus] #FamilyMinistry [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/familyministry]

episode The Holy Spirit is With Us, In Us, and Fills Us // Acts 2:1-4 // Bobby Gourley cover

The Holy Spirit is With Us, In Us, and Fills Us // Acts 2:1-4 // Bobby Gourley

A lot of people believe in the Holy Spirit… but live like He’s barely involved in their life.Not because they reject Him— but because they’ve never really understood how He relates to them. So He becomes abstract. Distant. Occasional. But in Scripture, the Holy Spirit is not distant at all—He is active, personal, and progressively closer than most people realize.In this message, we unpack what Jesus reveals in Gospel of John 14:16 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC-IBHVI8sw&t=856s]–17 and what unfolds in Acts 2—that there are three distinct ways the Holy Spirit relates to people:With you. In you. Filling you.We walk through each one: * With you — The Spirit is present with every person, pursuing, drawing, hovering over the chaos of our lives (Genesis 1:2) * In you — At salvation, the Spirit doesn’t just come near—He takes up residence (1 Corinthians 6:19 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC-IBHVI8sw&t=379s]) * Filling you — Not just presence, but power; not just indwelling, but overflow (Acts 2:4, Ephesians 5:18 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC-IBHVI8sw&t=318s]) * New power for what God’s called you to do * A life that impacts others, not just yourself * Deeper love, stronger prayer, clearer guidance, real confidence This message brings clarity to what can often feel confusing or distant—and shows that the Spirit-filled life isn’t reserved for a few, it’s the normal life God intended for every believer.We also talk through what changes when you’re filled:And ultimately, the question the early church kept asking still stands today:Have you received the Holy Spirit?If this message helps you understand who the Holy Spirit is and how He works in your life, subscribe and share it with someone who’s ready to go deeper.#HolySpirit [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/holyspirit] #SpiritFilled [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/spiritfilled] #ChristianLife [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/christianlife] #Faith [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/faith] #BibleTeaching [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/bibleteaching] #ChurchOnline [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/churchonline] #SpiritualGrowth [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/spiritualgrowth]

episode You Can't Raise Godly Kids Without This // Hebrews 12:5-11 // Bobby Gourley cover

You Can't Raise Godly Kids Without This // Hebrews 12:5-11 // Bobby Gourley

You can’t raise godly kids without discipline—but not the kind most people think.In Hebrews 12:5–11, we see that discipline is not punishment—it’s proof of love and relationship. God’s discipline shapes us, corrects us, and leads us toward who we’re called to be. And that becomes the model for how we parent.This message challenges different parenting styles—from controlling to passive—and calls us toward something better: being a shepherd. Not perfect, but intentional. Not just managing behavior, but shaping character.We walk through what biblical discipline actually looks like—why it matters, how it works, and how to do it in a way that builds connection instead of breaking it. Discipline isn’t something you do to your child, but for your child.You’ll also get practical tools like the “connect, correct, connect” framework and the four pillars of discipline: unity, consistency, love, and firmness.If you want to raise kids who are grounded, guided, and prepared for life, this message will help you stay focused on the right goal.Subscribe to the channel for more teachings and updates.#ChristianParenting [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/christianparenting] #BiblicalDiscipline [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/biblicaldiscipline] #Hebrews12 [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/hebrews12] #ParentingWithPurpose [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/parentingwithpurpose] #FaithAtHome [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/faithathome] #RaisingKids [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/raisingkids] #FamilyFaith [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/familyfaith] #NextGeneration [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nextgeneration]

Keep Feeding Them // Hebrews 12:11 // Special Guest Pete Key

Parenting isn’t just about getting kids through today—it’s about preparing them for who they are becoming.In this message, special guest speaker and friend of Chapel, Pete Key, takes a look at what it means to keep feeding them—feeding your children vision, identity, and purpose. Because what you give them now shapes who they become later.We talk about the pain of parenting, why discipline and boundaries matter, and some common mistakes parents make—from giving presents over presence to rescuing kids from every hard moment. Sometimes what feels hard now is what produces strength later.This message also explores what we are depositing into our children through our words, our example, our correction, and our prayers. Parenting is not just protecting children from discomfort, but helping form resilient, faith-filled adults with a sense of calling.If you’re raising kids, leading a family, or investing in the next generation, this message will help you stay focused on what matters most.Subscribe to the channel for more teachings and updates.#ChristianParenting [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/christianparenting] #KeepFeedingThem [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/keepfeedingthem] #BiblicalParenting [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/biblicalparenting] #FamilyFaith [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/familyfaith] #ParentingWithPurpose [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/parentingwithpurpose] #FaithAtHome [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/faithathome] #RaisingKids [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/raisingkids] #NextGeneration [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nextgeneration]
