Thorns & Thistles FAMILY SERVICE Bilingual

This message teaches that the home is one of the primary places where discipleship happens, but when wounds remain hidden and unhealed, thorns can grow in the family. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6:4–9, it shows that children and families are shaped not only by what is taught, but by the atmosphere, patterns, words, and reactions they experience every day. Through James 1:19–20, Hebrews 12:15, and Ephesians 4:31–32, the message reminds believers that hidden wounds can shape reactions, unhealed pain can become bitterness, and healing requires truth handled with gentleness, patience, repentance, and forgiveness. Ultimately, this message points to Jesus, who wore the crown of thorns to carry the curse of sin and redeem what sin has broken. A home with thorns is not a home without God. The Savior who wore thorns is not intimidated by the thorns in our homes.
