Home Built on Prayer
Is your home marked more by prayer or by pressure? What if the greatest difference-maker in your family isn’t a new routine or better communication—but a deeper dependence on God through prayer? In this encouraging message, Family Pastor Jared Windham shares how every Christ-centered home is built on a foundation of prayer. Drawing from Mark 9 and other key passages throughout Scripture, we discover that prayer isn’t just something we practice—it’s the posture that shapes our homes, transforms our relationships, and aligns our hearts with God’s will. As we seek to grow in our love for Christ and understand what truly matters, we’ll learn how God’s Word directs our prayers and protects our homes from pride, conflict, and self-reliance. In this message you’ll discover: • Why prayer is the greatest difference-maker in your home
• How pride can quietly hinder your prayer life and your relationships
• A diagnostic question that reveals the spiritual health of your home
• Why God’s Word must be the compass that guides your prayers
• How Scripture helps us discern truth in a world full of competing voices
• Practical encouragement for building a home centered on Christ Key Scriptures:
