Our speaker during Family Bible Hour was Mr Bill Coyle.  Mr Coyle's message was based on Titus 2.  The believers of Crete, through their daily lives, reflected the image of God  to the unbelievers surrounding them.  Paul categorized the believers into five groups (underlined in the Bible passage below) and listed the qualities that would reflect well on God for each of these groups. Paul may have also answered possible family issues that were asked of him.

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:  That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.  The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love  their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.   Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.  In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.  Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 

~ Titus 2: 1-10

Our speaker during Family Bible Hour was Mr Steve Modrzejewski. Since today is Mother's Day, he chose to focus on Moses' mom, based on Exodus 1 and 2. There are several  important lessons we can learn as moms from these chapters. A couple of them would be: (a) God honors us when we honor Him during difficult times; (b) godly moms are to walk by faith.

And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives...And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women...if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.  But the midwifes feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive...therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.  And it came to pass, because  the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.  ~ Exodus 1: 15-21

And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.  And the woman conceived, and bare a son:  and when she saw him that was a goodly child, she hid him three months. And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.  And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.  And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it...And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son.  And she called his name Moses:  and she said, Because I drew him out of the water. ~ Exodus 2: 1-10

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Our speaker during Family Bible Hour was Mr Steve Modrezejewski.  He continued his series on the life of David.  This time, based on several passages in the Old Testament, it was about David learning to wait on the Lord's timing.  Steve reminded us that it's not about us, but it's about God.  God's plan will always be fulfilled in His time, and in His way.

The following passage is an example of David doing things God's way, resulting in his success:

But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.  The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.  And David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines?  wilt thou deliver them into mine hand?  And the Lord said unto David, Go up:  for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.  And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters.  Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.  And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
