Learning from the life of Adam to Enoch:

1) Family origins teach us about heritage and memory grids.

2) Family Origins teach us about ourselves.

3) Family Origins teach us about our spouse.

Plain Truth: Family origins shape us but they don’t determine you.

4) Family Origins teach us about God’s redemptive power.
a) Judah and Tamar
b) Rahab and the spies in Jericho
c) Boaz and Ruth
d) David and Bathsheba.
e) Jehoiachin born during time of exile.

5) Family Origins reveal to us how to be soul mates.

Assignment:
A) Write out a prayer for your spouse now which contains some of these elements: i) personal dreams or goals, ii) personal needs, iii) children or family needs, iv) financial concerns.

Power Point: We can advance our own prayers. Let go and let God is usually an excuse for lazy Christianity.

B) Now, take this prayer that you have written and pray a blessing.
Human touch and prayer are so prayerful, etc.
