I am happy to introduce a summer series focused on 'Walking in the Spirit.' We're going to talk about the importance of this practice in every Christian's life and discuss the internal battle between the flesh and the spirit. We'll explores the role of the Holy Spirit, we'll define the flesh and explore the significance of the fruit of the Spirit so that we are set up for hearing the beginning practical steps for believers to walk in the Spirit on the part 2 episode.

In this part two episode about family relationships, we talk about some practicalities of keeping our families healthy and happy as we journey together through life. The best families have biblical values that guide them as they deal with family conflict and building close relationships. Today we look at four general principles from the account of Isaac and Ishmael that will help us in our own family life.

In this part one of two episodes, we discuss the complexities of family conflict, drawing insights from the interaction with Isaac and Ishmael. This first episode focuses on the biblical account in Genesis 25, and then next week we will bring it home and apply the principles we see. If you have a family (and who doesn't), come learn more tools to resolve conflict in our most important relationships!
