Genesis 1:26–31; 2:18–25

In a world where the definition of family constantly shifts, Pastor J's powerful message "Building the Family" cuts through the confusion with timeless biblical truth. Drawing from Genesis, he unveils God's three-fold blueprint for family: reflecting His image through the complementary unity of male and female, fulfilling His mission of discipleship across generations, and revealing His covenant love through enduring relationships. Through personal stories of raising his own children with his wife—from limiting video games to prioritizing worship—Pastor J illustrates how intentional choices shape family discipleship. His empty nest experience with his daughter now studying on the East Coast brings these principles into sharp focus, showing how God's design extends beyond just parenting to encompass all seasons of life. The message resonates deeply with Kapahulu Bible Church's vision of being a Christ-centered 'ohana, challenging every member—married, single, young, or old—to embrace their role in God's family plan. As cultural definitions of family continue to evolve, Pastor J's urgent call remains clear: build your family on God's unchanging foundations, reflecting His faithful love to a watching world.
