Re-Resolving to... Be a Family
Teachers
Lesson Summary
In this Bible study class, Clint Davison emphasized the vital role of family—both physical and spiritual—in the Christian walk. The lesson highlighted the challenges of maintaining unity, especially when a member distances themselves from the faith, and called the congregation to re-resolve to be a supportive, restorative family. Drawing from James 5:16 and Psalm 55:17, the teacher stressed that prayer must be the foundation of church family life, not a last resort. He used personal stories to illustrate the love and commitment required to hold family together, even in difficult circumstances. The central message was that a family, whether nuclear or spiritual, is a place of safety, belonging, and mutual care. The class encouraged attendees to see each other as part of God’s chosen family and to pursue the restoration of those who have strayed, mirroring God’s own love and persistence. This lesson challenged the congregation to prioritize spiritual family bonds and to take action, even when it’s difficult, to ensure no one is left behind.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, I utter my complaint and moan; and He hears my voice.
