Passage: Proverbs 4:23 & 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 Speaker: Pastor Jon Kopp Series: Christian Parenting (2025)
Speaker: Jon Kopp - What Makes an Ideal Family? It can be easy to envision an ideal family in a way that overlooks life’s most crucial realities. If we’re not careful, our idea of a perfect family might assume a world where no one sins—eliminating the need for a Savior. But the truth is, every person’s greatest problem (and that includes children) is sin. And because of that, everyone’s greatest need is Jesus. If a child’s deepest struggle is sin, and their ultimate need is a Savior, then an ideal family is not one without flaws, but one where the rhythms of home life reflect the rhythms of the gospel. In such a home, the language and practices of everyday life consistently point to grace, repentance, forgiveness, and faith in Christ.
