Series: God's Promises, Our JourneyTitle: "Will you trust God with your future family?"Scripture: Genesis 24:1-67 NIV Hebrews 11:9-13Bottom line: When we rest in God's promises, Grace finds us.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTOUTLINECONCLUSIONDISCUSSION QUESTIONSNOTESYOUTUBE DESCRIPTIONMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. Bottom line: When we rest in God's promises, Grace finds us.OPENING STORYI find myself thinking more and more about the future. Between caring for our aging parents, supporting our kids and grandkids, and taking our health and finances seriously so that we minimize our burden on our kids, we're thinking more and more about the future. And when you do that it's tempting to become anxious and to try to do things without trusting the Lord by taking control where we should surrender to the Lord. This is common but not wise. Today I want to challenge us with this question: Can you trust God with your future family? Can I? Will I?My bottom line for today is this: When we trust in God's promises, grace finds us.What promises?For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son...(John 3:16)For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life...(Romans 6:23)If you confess with our mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in our heart, God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9-13)I'm preparing a place for you (John 14)I'm coming back. (Various)Are you resting in God's promises? If you are, your life will look different. Your journey will be richer and more satisfying and will lead to life everlasting where the best is yet to come!CONTEXTAbraham is old. (140) Sarah is dead. (Genesis 23) Isaac is 40. Unmarried. No kids/grandkids. God's promise that his descendants will be more than the stars in the sky and the sand on the sea shore is hard to believe at this point. Yet, Abraham is resolved to see this through. He will show that as he trusts God with the future of his family. He trusts God to keep his promise. And this affects his journey--how he will live in light of those promises. OUTLINEI. Abraham trusts God with the future. (24:1-9)II. The servant trusts God with the process. (24:10-27)III. Rebekah trusts God with courage. (24:28-61)IV. Isaac trusts God to provide. (24:62-67)CONCLUSIONBottom line: When we rest in God's promises, Grace finds us.When you look to the future, how can you best trust God's promises?You believe and receive God's promises starting with the most important promise. "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."Have you done that? Have you crossed that line of faith regarding your future here and now, as well as, in the hereafter? Turn from your wicked ways to a Savior who forgives and forgets. Who is preparing a place for you where the best is yet to come.Believe and receive the Lord Jesus Christ today!In Jesus' name,AmenPrayQuestions (Write this down) - grab an index card and penWhat is God saying to you right now?

Send a textWhat if your home could breathe again? Not perfect, not polished—free. We explore what true freedom looks like when Jesus is the center, moving past cultural definitions and into the lived reality of grace, peace, and a family that stands on solid ground. We start with focus—how attention directs a household—and trace how friction, handled as a united team, builds resilience instead of resentment. From there, we drill into foundation and why keeping Christ at the core prevents slow cracks from becoming structural failures.Freedom in Christ isn't vague; it's the end of condemnation and the beginning of rest. We dig into Romans 8 and John 8, unpacking peace, assurance, and the way perfect love evicts fear. Then we name the leash that quietly yanks us back: unforgiveness. You'll hear a practical, compassionate path to release people to God's justice, step out of the judgment seat, and recover your capacity to love without denying real harm. We also confront excuses and patterns that keep families stuck, offering simple, honest steps to change: replace reasons with action, build new habits, and ask for help before the hole gets deeper.Confession becomes the hinge where everything turns. First to God, who already knows, then to trusted people who will guard your story and carry it with you. We share how confession lightens the load, how identity reframes effort, and why being “born again” means expecting to learn again—walking, talking, and trying with patient consistency. Along the way we point to practices that build a culture of freedom: Scripture as a roadmap, small obediences, life-giving groups, and a mission mindset that pours out what God has poured in.If you're tired of roaming the yard only to be yanked by the same leash, press play. Let's drop the shovel, cut the chains, and choose a freer way to live and love. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope today, and leave a review to help more families find freedom.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-...Life Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-gr...Giving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.co...Church Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-ch...Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...----Instagram cornerstoneaz Facebook cornerstoneaz.org Twitter cornerstoneaz.org

Send a textFear is loud, but it doesn't get the final say over your home. We share a straight-talking, hope-filled path to lead your family with courage—fierce for what matters, not fake for appearances. From Romans 2–3, we unpack why none of us earns righteousness, how grace makes us new, and what a real, practiced faith looks like when the pressure is on.We start by naming the noise: headlines and feeds that monetize panic. Then we flip the script with “faith over fear,” not as a catchphrase but as a rhythm—prayer over worry, presence over avoidance, service over cynicism. You'll hear practical steps to fight for your family instead of with your family: blessing your home with Scripture, shutting down cutting talk, apologizing quickly, and choosing repair over retreat. If you've ever felt stuck repeating the same conflict year after year, we talk about breaking that loop with community, mentoring, and simple habits that nudge growth forward.We also confront the difference between cultural “niceness” and biblical righteousness. Good people aren't made right by effort; grace through Jesus is the only ground that holds. That truth frees us to drop the plastic, confess without shame, and normalize the altar—a daily return to God's presence for wisdom, unity, and strength. Along the way, we press into “no fake faith, no fake family, no fake friends,” urging you to anchor your closest relationships with believers who help you pray first, speak life, and do the Word, not just hear it.If you're ready to replace panic with purpose and performance with authenticity, this conversation will give you language, tools, and courage to start today. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review telling us the one faith practice you're putting into action this week.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-...Life Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-gr...Giving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.co...Church Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-ch...Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...----Instagram cornerstoneaz Facebook cornerstoneaz.org Twitter cornerstoneaz.org

Send a textWhat if your family's future could feel lighter, clearer, and more united because the foundation was already settled? We share how choosing Jesus first reframed everything—how we dated, how quickly we married, where we moved, and how we navigate conflict and calling. From missions in hard places to late-night hospitality, our story keeps circling the same truth: love that lasts is sacrificial, not self-serving.We open Scripture to anchor love in reality, not vibes. First John 4 reminds us that love starts with God. First Corinthians 13 shows how love behaves when no one is watching—patient, kind, honest, steady. Genesis 2 calls us to leave and cleave, forming a new team. Then Ephesians 5 levels up the standard: submission as sub-mission under God's purpose, and husbands loving like Christ by laying down pride and comfort. This is not theory. It looks like shared calendars, shared budgets, shared decisions, and the humility to say, “Let's pray first.”Most couples don't crash over one big thing; they drift over a thousand unsaid words. We name the usual hotspots—sex, money, and family—and offer simple ways to talk before crisis. A premarital toolkit or a quick SWOT analysis can turn a gut feeling into a wise plan, and prayer can set pace and boundaries before a move or a purchase. We also talk about relaying a shaky foundation. It's never too late to reset your home on Christ, rebuild trust with small acts of respect and service, and date your spouse with intention.You'll hear stories of contentment before marriage, a near-impossible move while pregnant, tense moments where mission and marriage had to realign, and the deep peace that only comes when your feet stand on rock. Whether single, newlywed, or decades in, our hope is the same: as you move closer to God, you'll move closer to each other. If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more families can find a foundation that holds.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-...Life Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-gr...Giving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.co...Church Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-ch...Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...----Instagram cornerstoneaz Facebook cornerstoneaz.org Twitter cornerstoneaz.org

Send a textFriction sneaks into families through tiny moments—a sharp tone, a hurried shrug, a tired reply—and soon the gears that should move us forward feel jammed. We set out to change that. Drawing from Proverbs 27:17 and Ecclesiastes 4, we explore how spiritual sharpness, humble refinement, and a “same team” mindset can turn conflict into traction. Instead of fighting each other, we learn to fight for each other with grace, clarity, and courage.We share honest stories, practical tools, and a few sports metaphors to make it real: how to pass purpose to the next generation like a clean handoff, why two are better than one when pressure piles up, and how a threefold cord keeps us standing when life hits hard. You'll hear why a dull spirit demands force and causes damage, while a sharpened heart moves with precision and care. We also talk about life-giving rhythms—short prayers before hard talks, weekly check-ins, and simple phrases like “same team” that defuse tension and re-center your home on mission.Underneath it all is purpose. Romans 8:28 reminds us God weaves even the rough threads for good when we align our hearts with Him. Whether you're parenting littles, rebuilding trust in marriage, loving a prodigal, or carrying your family in prayer, this conversation offers a way forward: invite God to refine you first, speak life with intention, and link arms with your community.

Send us a textWe tackle the pull of constant noise and offer a practical path to a God-honoring home, starting with two simple questions we ask our teens and should ask ourselves: where are you going, and how will you get there? From Deuteronomy 6 to Jesus' greatest commandments, we explore how loving God with heart, soul, and might becomes more than belief—it becomes the culture of your household.We share honest stories about parenting through the “teenage” phases of faith—those emotional swings and course corrections—and why apology and repair are powerful discipleship tools. You'll hear how to bind God's word to your hands and eyes, shaping both your actions and your perspective, and why rival voices work so hard to claim your identity. Then we get concrete: write the vision and make it plain, adopt a mission you can practice daily—love God, make disciples, reach the world—and lean on values that act as guardrails when life gets messy.To help you move from aspiration to traction, we walk through seven core habits that sharpen family focus: commitment, community, communication, competence, creativity, compassion, and celebration. Think of these as the lens adjustments that take you from blurry intentions to clear outcomes. Along the way, we highlight simple rhythms for Scripture, prayer, and neighbor-love that your kids can watch and imitate. Whether you're single, dating, married, or deep into parenting, you'll leave with a plan to align decisions with purpose and a hopeful vision your children can carry further than you did.If this helps you refocus your home, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review with one takeaway you'll practice this week.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-...Life Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-gr...Giving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.co...Church Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-ch...Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...----Instagram cornerstoneaz Facebook cornerstoneaz.org Twitter cornerstoneaz.org

Claire Tomkins launched Future Family in 2017 as a way to bring more financing options to the IVF process. Tomkins sat down with ForbesWomen editor Maggie McGrath to talk about how she's scaling her business, why IVF financing is a potentially lucrative asset class, and why she recently decided to hand over the CEO reins to Alden Romney, a veteran healthcare executive.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've ever wondered how to truly support your body after coming off birth control or what to do first when you're feeling bloated and sluggish,  this episode is for you. In part two of our Q&A series, we're diving into your most-requested questions: going deep on women's health, hormone balance, and big-picture life goals. I share my supplement thoughts post–birth control, why broad advice often backfires without proper bloodwork, and how our FLUSH protocol helps set a strong foundation for healing.  We also discuss what most women get wrong before coming to Vital Spark and whether a DUTCH test is worth it while still on hormonal contraception. From there, we get personal: what I would tell my past self, how we're thinking about family 20 years down the line, and even some of my non-profit aspirations for the future.  Finally, I break down the first steps to take when you're bloated, fatigued, and don't know where to start so you can stop spinning your wheels and start feeling like yourself again. This one is packed with both strategy and soul. Whether you're here for the hormone hacks, the mindset shifts, or just a little encouragement for your own journey, you'll leave with clarity and practical next steps to move forward with confidence. Time Stamps: (1:32) Curly or Straight Hair? (3:27) Top Supplements After Getting Off Birth Control (11:22) Bloodwork Over Broad Recommendations (12:50) FLUSH Protocol (16:21) What Most Women Are Doing Wrong Before Coming to Vital Spark (19:37) DUTCH Test on Birth Control? (22:50) What Vanessa Would Tell Her Past Self (26:28) 20 Years Later and Future Family (30:02) Non-Profit Future Aspirations (33:02) What To Prioritize When Bloating---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Yesterday, Tyler wrapped up our Roots to Branches message series sharing Jesus' radical views on family undermining traditional and progressive views. No matter where you came from, or what your family looks like… your family's pain does not define your future. If you just choose to believe there is a big family here to hold you up! The Good News is that the blood of Jesus covers many sins. We are stuck together. Together, we are the family of God. We hope this challenging series has impacted you personally to reflect on your blessings, acknowledge past hurts, the power of praying over your family, and embrace the spiritual tool of forgiveness and selflessness. And most importantly to embrace your future forever family of God - your church.

After working as a Director of Circle Surrogacy and the leadership team of Northstar Fertility, Angela founded Sunfish, a company that connects intended parents to grants and loans for ART. Listen as Angela shares about why she founded Sunfish, her endometritis diagnosis and the stress and anxiety she feels about her own future family building, her take on the future of fertility, and the innovative approach Sunfish takes to helping people fund their fertility journeys.
