From Problem Child to Godly Child // REPLY ALL pt. 2 // Pastor Steve Garcia

This special Mother’s Day message cuts right to the heart of those parents who are facing difficulties with their children. This message is  part 2 of the series: Reply All (How to Reply to Difficult People), dissecting some of the dysfunctional relationships in the life of King David. 

In this message, Pastor Steve unpacks the difficult question  of when the problem is your child, how do we reply? Looking at 2 Samuel 15 and 2 Samuel 12, we learn about the painful unraveling of King David’s relationship with his son, Absalom. Pastor Steve gives encouragement and hope to all parents who are facing a difficult relationship with a child by reminding us that:

1. I cannot REWRITE the past but I can REPAIR the present
2. I cannot confuse LOVING with ENABLING
3. I cannot always SAVE THE DAY when somebody NEEDS TO PAY

So if you are feeling like your family is a hot mess, we hope this message encourages you to know that you are not alone and that God has a plan, hope and purpose for you and your family’s future! There is always hope if we put Christ at the center and believe that Jesus can change a problem child into a Godly child.
