INTRODUCTION TO THE SERMON
The focus of our camp meeting sermon series this year is the abundant life that Jesus promises in John 10:10: “I have come that you might have life and that you might have it in abundance.” While the promise of such life is precious and filled with hope, the reality is that many of us don’t experience nearly as fully as Jesus intended. Why? Often it’s because of the pressing realities of real life. Our work exerts demands on us; our families have needs of us; at times even our leisure time exhausts us! So real life often prevents us from living the abundant life.

So real life often prevents us from living the abundant life.
I don’t know that there is any place more difficult in which to live an abundant life than in the context of our families. Parents, children, spouses, in-laws, (outlaws!), and all the other various and sundry relations make life challenging. While we love each other deeply, our humanness and sinfulness at times make living in harmony exceedingly difficult.
The question, then, is simple: When Jesus promised us abundant life, he did so knowing full well that we live in a real world. So how are we to live that abundant life in the real world of family life?
Maybe there is help in answering that question in the teachings of the Bible. Such is our focus in this sermon.
