This series vividly explores God's irreplaceable design for the family and examines the profound impact of biblical families on the world today. Rediscover God's original purpose - renew faith in His timeless design - and reclaim the image of family from a changing modern-day perspective. This study has 12 sessions that will discuss topics ranging from marriage and sexuality, family relationships and how families can thrive and serve God.
